Brittany Yurik, who was alone in the SUV, said he saw the plane a second before crashing into it and had spoken to the pilot after the incident.

“He’s very kind. He was very apologetic. He explained to me what happened, and I just can’t believe we’re all OK. I think he was feeling the same thing,” Yurik said.

Here’s how netizens reacted to the clip:

In another year you would see a plane in your rear view mirror and freak out, but it is 2020 so the motorist’s reaction was probably “ok, plane”

This was as good of a landing as you will ever see in a situation like this. Look up the pilot. He’s a pro.
