Maybe this was discussed while we were in OSH, but this is a pretty
amazing piece of State Trooper video...

I couldn't tell from the video, but wondered whether his prop was
still spinning when he landed on the freeway. If anyone ever has to do
a similar landing, I should note that in April 2004 a plane with
engine trouble landed on an Interstate near the Concord, CA airport.
The only serious injury occurred when his spinning prop cut through
the side of a van and sliced into a young girl's leg. At first, the
doctors thought they would have to amputate, but were able to save her
leg.

It doesn't seem like there's any good reason to have a spinning prop
when you're landing on a road, and a very good reason not to. Yet, I
can see where cutting the power just before touching down would not
likely be on the pilot's mind.
