I saw this on TV. The cowl was covered with oil.

King credited the pilot, Justin Krom, a Cirrus employee, for keeping his cool and landing the airplane on the highway, which he called “the only smart place to put it down.”

Keppers said Krom landed in the northbound lanes of Highway 61. No one was injured.

“Here’s the ridiculous part,” King said. “They land safely, and the traffic starts honking at them. As if an airplane would be on the highway if it was working properly.”

They just wanted the plane to speed up or at least have its flashers on.

Did the guy buy it?
 
So now that you've seen the 'short' and 'emergency' type landings...ya wanna this plane now?
