Smal twin did emergency landing on highway
Hi folks,

I think you might be interested

For the english speaking ones - little twin did emergency landing short before reaching the airport.
Seems to be this aircraft

Rumors in the article - and in TV - are shortage of fuel.
PX and Pilot injured, as well as drivers, but no one critical.
Greetings Flying Bull

Land against the traffic, and there's a fair chance theyll see you coming and get out of the way. Land with the traffic and there's pretty well no chance they'll see you until you're about truck height off the ground. So, it seems like you're balancing a small chance of a high speed collision against an almost certain lower speed collision.
Is there any evidence-based conventional wisdom on this?

But given the choice between a long, straight(ish), smooth(ish) length of tarmac or concrete that bares more than a remarkably passing resemblence to a runway, or a field with unknown bumps, dips, holes, ditches, vegetation (type and height), wetness (could be dry, damp or waterlogged), livestock, etc., which would you choose?
