Video shows moment plane makes emergency landing on North Carolina highway

SWAIN COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- An incredible video showed a small plane landing on a highway in western North Carolina Sunday morning.

The video was taken from inside the plane.

According to the Swain County Sherriff's Office, the single engine plane made an emergency landing on Highway 19 at around noon on July 3.
