No offense, but I'm not sure how any a.netter would confuse that video as being real Just look at some of the camera angles, impossible to get on a real airliner. Also, you would have heard about it all over the news if an airliner shut down the freeway in LA to make an emergency landing. It's a well done video though...I love the ending

Didn't an Air Canada 767 land on active speedway about 20+ years ago?

Definitely not real and it's been around for ages:
First saw this about 6 years ago on Stile Project, if I recall correctly. It is, however, an impressive piece of work that has stood up very well over time.

This video is total BS. 1) The car would have been crushed underneath the weight of the plane, 2) It would've been all over the news, 3) The freeway probably would've collapsed under it as I think it is an overpass.

Again, no offence intended, but, really, look how fast the car is going and how slow the DC10 is approaching......... totally unrealistic to think a DC10 could fly that slow. However, it is a funny video............

Folks, you have to use some "intellectual discretion" before creating a new thread. Re-read what you've written and ask yourself "will this make me look like an idiot?" If the answer is yes, delete it all and move on.

This thread certainly doesn't put France in a good light.
Then again, anything to divert attention from the struggling A380 program

Quoting BostonGuy (Reply 9): This thread certainly doesn't put France in a good light.
What? DC-10, approaching LAX, lands on a freeway, on top of a Jeep. What in this entire video represents France? Oh you mean the thread starter being French? And how everyone else misunderstood him?
People, stop flaming him, all he asked was whether it was possible, not whether it actually happened. Hence the title of the thread being, "Can this really happen? Hilarious Video".
So, the answer is yes, it might be possible for an aircraft to land on a freeway (it's been done before as stated above) but there is one factor that to me screams out "NOT EVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!" Because, we all know that old ladies don't drive well enough to risk taking one hand off the wheel and giving someone the finger. That sealed the deal for me as making it unrealistic. Oh, what's that? The car wouldn't be able to support the plane? Ok, then maybe there's two reasons it won't happen.

lighten up guys. This is the first time that I see it and I enjoyed it. Thanks for posting it. By the way, I don't think the poster's intention was to make you believe it's real. It's obviously a production and it's funny. Sitback, relax and enjoy the flight.

France? I must be slow in reading the posts. I see a flag of France from the opener...
If a DC-10 tried to land on a LAX freeway, it would hit every Caltrans sign for upcoming exits along the way. Never would happen.
'405: the movie' was and still is a great piece of ingenuity.

The link goes into better detail but an Air Canada 767 (C-GAUN) was successfully deadsticked onto a Canadian airport (Gimli: CYGM) runway that had been converted to a civilian raceway (in race use at the time of the incident!). The article makes a sideslip sound a bit unconventional but the feat was amazing no matter how you look at it!

Quoting AlexPorter (Reply 12): At first I thought it was going to be that one video with the Airbus A320 (or A319, etc) landing where it bounced eight times... again...
I did too. However, this video is juuuust too dang funny. Obviously it's not real, but whoever put it together did a good job.
I've got things to see and people to do.
25 Cumulus: www.405themovie.com It's a fantastic demonstration of computer rendering. Saw it first about 4 years ago and still find it brilliant!!
27 Oroka: Wow, never seen this movie. For something 4 years old, it is very well done! Could a MD-10 land on a freeway, I would say no because of the light pole
28 Cumulus: Will everyone who's seen this before stop going about "seen it before" etc. Matey who started the thread hadn't and was kind enough to share so what's

31 WildcatYXU: Well, that's surprising, since this movie was used as Jeep commercial around here. I've seen it on several TV channels a few years ago.
32 Stirling: The original version is better than the compressed version on YouTube....it was produced using top of the line equipment. Seeing it in its original f
33 BostonGuy: The video is humorous... my comments were related to DIJKKIJK asking the incredibly naive question:
