Motorway crash landing

Pilot crash lands on a motorway. To be honest something that happens a couple of times a year, so not that spectacular, but a couple of the comments are worthy of remark.

"Eyewitness Nick Probert said: "He just unsheathed himself and ran down the road to stop the traffic from running over any bits of fuselage or the plane."

Now I have never ever heard of getting out of anything, let a loan an aircraft as unsheathing one's self. Maybe Charlie can comment. Unsheathing, well that is normally something to do with a Saturday night in my house ;D

And

Wayne Moore(ron), of the Tasmania police, would, ideally, have preferred the young pilot to come down at a different location.
"I would have hoped that he would have found somewhere else to land. Maybe the hockey oval further down here," he said.

Muppet!!

Believe me it does get busy here... at times ;D However peak hour traffic only lasts for about an hour down here (on week days), and after that, well it's usually pretty quiet!
