and laughing at the cars just driving along, like this happens every day.
I'd be freaking out seeing that happening.

...while you're driving down the highway.

All the drivers did a nice job of not freaking out too.

of gas nowhere near an airport. Thankfully, he ended up landing in a large hay field...farmer had to come cut the hay for him to fly out.

and wouldn't open up a space for him to land? How fucking oblivious can you be?

From under the roof of your car your vision of whats happening above you is fairly occluded. Plus you are generally not expecting a plane to land on the highway.
