A mountain sheriff's office released a video Thursday of a harrowing emergency landing on a highway in the Blue Ridge Mountains over the July 4 holiday weekend.Swain County Sheriff Curtis Cochran posted the video to Facebook, thanking all the agencies who helped bring the plane down safely."We are thankful that no injuries occurred during this emergency landing and the plane is safely back in the air," Cochran said.The emergency happened Sunday at about noon on Highway 74 near the Sandlin Bridge, according to the Smoky Mountain Times."We have had plane crashes in Swain prior to this but I don't remember an emergency landing ever happening," Cochran said. "This pilot did an outstanding job not only landing safely on a busy four lane (highway) on a holiday weekend but he kept his composure and safely guided the plane off the 4 lane to a safe spot that did not interfere with traffic," he said in the post.The landing was captured on video from several angles and the video posted on the sheriff's office Facebook page, but the pilot's birds-eye-view gives the most hair-raising vantage point. Drivers were stunned but reacted quickly by pulling over, slowing down and making room for the plane as the pilot guided the craft to safety."Job well done by all involved," Cochran said.
