I know, I had the same thing. It's like, give a break, lady. When the engine fails, this thing turns into a glider and where to land becomes extremely limited. Pilot did a great job saving the, presumably student and CFI, inside the plane and causing no injuries or major damaged to anyone or anything in the landing area.
I’m guessing the pilot weighed “someone” “could’ve” and “hurt” against “me” “likely” and “death/serious injury” then made a decision.

Or worse instead of landing on the road, they plowed through a couple of houses. I doubt they had any other choices. No one chooses to land on a road full of cars if they have a better choice…
A friend of mine had to make an emergency crash landing. No one was hurt but my friend collided with a car. It wasn't the car owner's fault and as it turned out the car was brand new. The car's owner was really pissed off until my friend told the guy, "First, I'm insured. You damages will be taken care of. Also, you now have a cool story.

@@TheReadBaron91 In my structures & sheet metal lab in A&P school (TX State Tech. College, Waco) in the early 90s we had to remove & replace one half of a Cessna 152s wing. Every person in class was required to do this, 2 at a time on a wing half. It turned into an informal competition to see which pair could complete the removal _and_ installation the fastest. Most were doing it in 20-30 minutes _per half_ and could've gone faster if not for our instructor not allowing it & tempering our little race. It is absolutely reasonable for both halves of a 150/152/172 wing to be removed by two knowledgeable people within 30 minutes.
What exactly was the point of including that 3-second interview clip with the random passerby? She has no idea what she's talking about. Concern Troll Karen. Could someone have gotten hurt? Yes.

Bravo to the pilot, "GFYS" to the random Karen trying to paint her as a villain.
Karen knew as much as the reporters did. both know nothing about airplanes and flying. Journalists are famously bad at reporting on anything aviation related.
News edited out the question to make the blonde lady sound cold, “someone could have gotten hurt, lotta people around here, walking, biking…”. How about the happier/better story of how amazingly they pulled this off?
Probably a student pilot with an instructor. Instructor would have taken over and landed aircraft. Number 1 rule if you live - don't talk to reporters. They never get aviation stories right. Aircraft can be trucked out, no problem.
Oh my God, you are so right. There's no such thing as anything that is a "Tarmac". Every twin engine airline is a "737" and every "emergency" is life and threat situation where the pilots training and career comes into question. Every plane is "assumed" to have a black box. Every plane that something breaks, it's age is always questionable. I can go on
If it was a student, it depends on who was PIC. Could’ve been the instructor but if it was a private pilot and a CFii, it could’ve been the student who did the landing.

I once saw this. A Bell UH-1H landed next to me in a farmers field, close to some trees, and the pilot ran out unbuttoning his flight suit, still wearing his helmet, and made a dash for the trees, while the chopper was idling. When you gotta go, you stop what yer doing best.

Great job by the pilot. It's another reason why heavy development isn't a great idea to aviators; leaves less room and open fields for us to get the aircraft down on the ground safely without endangering the lives of those around.
