Pretty amazing flying... a quick weave to avoid a car or two and if she followed the checklist, from 65-70 knots on touch down to a dead stop at the traffic lights!
Other reports cite the location it happened as Hamilton Ave, Huntington Beach.
They say she was flying out of John Wayne and suffered power loss - musn't have had enough height to make the beach itself.
From Google maps, that looks like a pretty built up area too - not too many open spaces to put down a 172!
I guess they'll put it on the back of a truck to get it back to the FBO.
