very very very lucky it wasn't a loaded jet... that's an amazing video!

Whoa that's crazy!!!

How's the aircraft wheel bouncing off the underside of that overpass bridge before smacking the car. The force of which pushes the car into the roadside barrier. Scary.

Fark!

Can an aircraft of that size land without reverse thrust? Surely they can't stop on the wheel brakes alone.

[J.D.]

Yes it can and they frequently do. It's a big issue with airports which have curfews. I'm not sure it can be done on an icy runway though.
