Teen makes an emergency landing on a bridge.
Landon Lucas, an 18-year-old flying for Paramount Air Service, reported that his plane began to experience engine trouble as he was flying near Steel Pier in Atlantic City, officials said. He released his banner into the ocean and was attempting to reach Ocean City Municipal Airport when he spotted a gap in traffic in the westbound lanes of the causeway.
Lucas landed the plane with no damage to the aircraft, and no injury to himself or any drivers, officials said.

...witness Daniel Lepone. "I heard a loud boom..."
Otherwise good job from the young man
How much of that airplane is missing or detached from the engine? The aircraft was originally a J3C-65 but appears to have been modified under a restricted airworthiness certificate to use a Lycoming O-235. Maybe that mod was never cowled but what's that dangling from the SCAT hose?
