I saw this article last night, and noticed how it showed the usual sort
of confusion about losing power in a small plane.
The speaker, and presumably the reporter, seemed to think it was a
random event that the plane ended up on a freeway. It doesn't seem to
have occurred to them that the pilot likely chose that spot specifically
because, at that time of night, there was not likely to be a lot of
traffic and it was a place that was lit.
