A not successful freeway landing

I think it's clear that California should ban Bluetooth devices.

I was behind a vehicle going to work the other day the guy had a flip down TV going (up front), no passengers and was on his cell phone.

Do we really need that much entertainment to go from point A to point B?

I see drivers messing with their phones pretty much every time I drive. It's far to common and it's not kids I see doing it, my observation is it's typically adults. I've made a habit of laying on the horn when I see it and I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed when I do that.

About every third vehicle has some twit diddling with their phone or some othere BS junk in their car. I love the ones that come bombing up the inside of you out on the highway, cut left, then goes heads down as he starts slowing down to get on their phone. Personally, they should ban use of any electronic device by the driver while the vehicle is in drive. Phones, cameras, radios, ipods, gps... all of them. Hands free don't help a wit since the twit still has to dial the damned device.

Please, do tell. I know the area very well, and fly over it probably 3-5 times a week. I'm betting from that pic you're looking at the open space beyond the freeway. That area is anything but flat or smooth. The photo makes it look like a nice open field, but really it's very hilly and rough. Monday morning quarterback all you like, but if my engine quits on the way home from F70 you'll find my mooney on I15.
 
I used to drive from Escondido and/or Fallbrook to Corona and Camarillo ... there's no place I recall that would be a better emergency landing zone, except maybe Lake Elsinore when it was almost dry ...
 
Not Monday morning QBing as it would be hard to spot and who knows if the plane would have made it but there is an old air strip just south of the 76 on the west side of the 15.

We need to ban boring cars. I rarely even have music playing when I drive.

The road is not flat or smooth either. It has cars on it. If you choose the road you're basically saying you'll choose to put bystanders at risk in order to try and lessen the damage to your airplane.

For the car? Yes. It's still a "success" per the design intent. You can't always predict the actions of others or quality of another product, but you can try to make YOUR product or outcome safe.

I doubt it was the pilot or the plane designer's intent to kill someone. But that's what happened.

No I'm saying I'll take a calculated risk of landing between cars already moving at roughly the same speed to have a better chance at saving my own life. This happens all the time, and the only reason this one had a bad outcome is because the guy in the car chose a terrible place to stop. I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that the overwhelming majority of pilots value their own lives, and in an emergency are a bit more focused on choosing the path most likely to save their own life. I wouldn't aim for a crowded beach where killing others is likely, but a freeway where people are in metal boxes moving at similar speed in my direction? yep. Has nothing to do with saving the plane, as far as I'm concerned the insurance owns it when the prop stops spinning, I'm aiming to walk away.

"Try and lessen the damage to your airplane"

Give me a break... this was not about trying to save the airplane. I have no doubt the pilot was trying to do what was best for himself and his passengers. Landing on a freeway with the flow of moderate traffic has been done safely many, many times before. Yes it is risky and a light plane would not fare well hitting a car or truck. I think the pilot chose to land on the freeway because he had no safe alternatives.
