Southwest flight 1279 was approaching Portland airport and suddenly collided with flock of birds. The aircraft lost thrust in both engines over densely populated area. The river was too far away for emergency landing and pilots had to make a tough decision land the aircraft on a busy highway. Was that even possible ? Find out in the video.


NOTE: this video was made for entertainment purposes only! This accident has never happened in real life! The video was filmed in XPlane 11 FLIGHT SIMULATOR and editing techniques were used to make it look more real.

This video includes real airplane sounds which I do not own. The sounds have been taken from these videos:
