Transcription for Vintage airplane makes emergency road landing
Now to a dramatic scene on a Mississippi highway. Watch this. A vintage airplane made a hard landing, really hard on Highway 45. The ABC story is here with the story. Erielle, good morning to you. Journalist: Good morning to you, guys. That pilot reports problems within a few minutes of the takeoff. Then the frightening moments as his plane approached a busy Mississippi highway. Something you do not see every day in Clark County. Reporter: The cell phone video that captures the dramatic moments after this World War II plane crash landed on the side of a busy highway. Boyd Williams took off on Friday in his unique engine from Meridian's Meridian Regional Airport. Just before 3:00 p.m., the engine starts to fail. I called to turn around and tell them that he was running roughly and seconds later he stopped completely. Reporter: Boyd is making an emergency landing on Highway 45 halfway through the afternoon trip. Your plane suffered significant damage. Trying to enter the main road, but I think he had some difficulties, he had to climb on his shoulder and started the landing gear from under the plane. Reporter: Boyd's daughter who works in frantic meridian aviation after hearing about an endangered pilot. I heard the radio in the tower that said one of our local ships. I felt sick to my stomach, but I was just praying that I was fine. Reporter: Those prayers answered. Boyd escaping unarmed. A plane with a single engine only has one power source, and if it shuts down, you have no other choice unless you can restart the engine. When a plane lands on a highway, they did it because it was a matter of life and death. Reporter: The pilot and his family now grateful for a miracle on a Mississippi highway. I'm happy to be here. I'm grateful to be in one piece. Thanks to anyone on the way he was injured and my two children came here and we are sharing another day together. Reporter: And he's very lucky there. Fortunately, as they heard there, no one on the ground was injured. The FAA is now investigating what caused the plane crash, but as for Boyd, he tells us he has no plans to stop flying soon. Wow. Going back up It is not a deterrent, but can you imagine being the daughter in the situation and listening to this call of anguish and know that your dad is flying? I can imagine that she will not want me to fly again. Then you have some interesting conversations on the table, I imagine. Thanks erielle I appreciate it.
