Do planes land on highways? Can a road suddenly turn into a runway? While such intersections of aerial and terrestrial transportation are not common, they happen so frequently that you might be surprised. But after all, a runway and a highway aren’t so wildly different. They look pretty much the same: roads are straight pieces of asphalt, just like you’d find in an airfield. In this video we're gonna take a look at an emergency case scenario, when a pilot needs to land a plane of a highway. What might happen if an aircraft won't have the space it needs to land on a highway? Or the road might break if it is not constructed specifically for aircraft use… #brightside TIMESTAMPS
