In awe at how orderly all of this is. Everyone just calmly slows down, puts their four-ways on, merges smoothly to the left lane. You'd think there'd be more freaking out over the fact a PLANE LANDED ON THE HIGHWAY

Quebec drivers are honestly the smartest and best drivers in Canada. And pilots, apparently! Well done everyone!

My favorite part is the car right behind the plane who turned on their hazard lights.

Excellent piloting. There was an urgency to land between the overhead signs that required super fast decision making. Well done!

That pilot was as cool as a cucumber considering all the obstacles, I'd fly with him or her any day.
