Good point. Unless the pilot screws up that landing! We had one on the interstate last week. The local paper was not intelligent enough to get all the facts, but since it was within a 1/4 mile of the real airport the plane had taken (took?) off within a half hour and all was well. Kind of like learning to snow ski, don't panic and land it nose first and you will live to laugh about it later.
