Why are people condemning the pilot when they don't know the circumstances? First find out what his options were, how much traffic there was, were there bridges or signs in the way, why did he move to the centre of the road, etc. The RF6 has a stalling speed of 54 kts, so at least the speed differential with the traffic could have been minimised. It would have been possible to land without causing cars to crash. Which is exactly what happened.
