JUMPED IN TO HELP. TODD NORMALLY, PLANES ARE RIGHT AT HOME IN AN AIRPORT, BUT IT’S NOT EVERY DAY YOU SEE ONE PARKED IN A FARM FIELD. HE CAME FROM BEHIND. I DIDN’T EVEN SEE IT COMING. AND, YOU KNOW, IT JUST CAME OVER THE TOP OF ME, JUST REAL CLOSE. FARMER GARY BEATTIE GOT THE SHOCK OF HIS LIFE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THAT’S WHEN HE SAW A SMALL PLANE MAKE AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON THE ROAD NEAR HIS HOUSE. WE WERE GOING UP A HILL, SO I DIDN’T REALLY KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER HE WENT DOWN. I WAS HOPING HE WAS ALL RIGHT. THIS IS CRAZY, SEEING THIS OUT HERE JUST ON A RANDOM ROAD. LEAH DEBARTOLO WAS DRIVING BY RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED. SHE SHOT THIS VIDEO OF THE SINGLE ENGINE PLANE AFTER IT ROLLED TO A HALT ON SOUTHEAST 116TH STREET. SO, SO LUCKY, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, FINDING A ROAD THAT WASN’T BUSY THAT HE WAS ABLE TO LAND AND HAVE A SAFE LANDING AND COMING OUT OKAY FROM IT. GOD WAS WITH HIM. I’LL TELL YOU, THAT GUY, HIS YOUNG KID, YOU KNOW, HE WAS HE WAS SHOOK UP. BEATTIE SAYS THE 30 YEAR OLD PILOT WAS FLYING HOME TO INDIANA FROM COLORADO. HIS COMPANY USES THE PLANE FOR AERIAL SURVEYING. HE GOT INTO TROUBLE AFTER A STOP FOR FUEL AT THE DES MOINES AIRPORT. WHAT DID HE SAY? HE DIDN’T SAY MUCH. HE HAD OIL ALL OVER THE PLANE. AND THERE’S HOLES IN THE HOOD WHERE THE PISTONS SHOT OUT OF THE ENGINE OR, YOU KNOW, BLEW THE ENGINE AFTER THE FAA SIGNED OFF, BEATTIE HELPED TOW THE PLANE TO HIS FARM. THE PILOT WENT TO A HOTEL AND IS OKAY. I SAID, GOOD JOB. YEAH. I MEAN, HE HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. I MEAN, HE HAD TO HAVE. STILL NO OFFICIAL CAUSE FOR WHY THE PLANE HAD TO MAKE THAT EMERGENCY LANDING. BUT THE FAA WILL END UP INVESTIGATING
