STORY: A small plane made an emergency landing on a busy Beirut highway on Saturday (July 3), but the pilot had the presence of mind to first stick his head out of the window and yell at the traffic to stop, witnesses said.
There were no injuries and no visible damage to the plane, which landed on a road on the southern edge of the Lebanese capital. Soldiers sealed off the area.
Airport officials said the Cessna 172 was on a training flight when it developed mechanical problems.
One witness said he saw the plane's pilot yell at a boy on a motorbike to tell him to stop the traffic because he had to land the plane.
Another witness said the pilot was very calm and came down slowly during the emergency landing.
