striking a car. it apparently was almost looked like it was landing on the 405. it s unclear, we don t know if this had engine problems, whether in southern california is certainly not an issue. we don t know if it had some type of engine problem, if something happened on board. we don t know it may be something in the air happened and i had to make a quick turn to avoid some other oncoming or incoming traffic. so far, there has been no reports that this plane hit any oncoming traffic on the for them at 405, which in itself is a miracle because rush-hour is ready much in perpetuity in southern california. the freeway it was jammed and for this thing not to have had a single car, it is very fortuitous for a lot of drivers in that area. jon: something of a miracle, trace gallagher from our west coast bureau, thanks very much.
