A jaw-dropping video of a plane landing on rough terrain has gone viral on the internet. In the clip, a pilot is seen flying the plane over a dense forest, and continuously looking around for a spot to land. After a few seconds into his search, the flyer successfully lands the aircraft on an empty stretch of road surrounded by trees.
The nerve-racking clip was shared on Twitter by a user named Vuelos y Viajes.
