Interesting and impressive. Not easy to land one of those on a busy highway.

Wonder what went wrong that he needed to.

I'm skeptical he landed on the median. Been flying for a few years and there's no way I'd set down that close to a barrier on grass. If there was a rut or hole that catches the gear it would put you into that barrier in a second. I'd much rather take my chances and aim for touching down on the inside emergency lane and let the cars get out of the way.
