Lol reminds of that video from about 10 years ago where an airliner lands on the 405 and a jeep is in similar situation, though not by choice.

Cool

That has to be 100% fake, just think about it, the front of that plane weighs what 20-30,000lbs? That truck would have been crushed.

After watching it again, on the lower right hand corner it states, very briefly, Fictionization do not Attempt. Darn, I wanted to be a Hero worshiper.

I'm surprised none of you have seen that ad, albeit a much shorter 30 sec. Of course it's fake; not only would that plane crush the truck, but landing speed of a commercial jetliner is something around 140mph--well above the top speed of a pickup.

Here is the one I was talking about: 405 - YouTube

It might have been one of the first Internet viral videos according to wikipedia.
