#breaking Plane crash along I-40…But this is one lucky pilot. He told me he lost engine power, saw I-40 and tried to land. Would have, he thinks, but swirling wind of moving cars caused him to stall and bounce onto and over the guard rail. Near exit 90. He’s fine. Plane is not. pic.twitter.com/Nt1ST9xNiX
