Did not know any of the R182's were flying. They are not all that common.

Looked like the pilot did the best he could. Gotta suck when you don't get the green.

Glad no one got hurt

Any landing you can crawl away from is a good landing.

They seemed pretty calm. I wonder if this was shot as a training video?

Having a hard time believing that a "regular person" could remain that calm and film an emergency landing like that.
