    Drivers on the busy New Jersey Turnpike in the US faced even longer delays when a 3078   Cessna light aircraft made an emergency landing on the highway. The road, one of the world's busiest, had to be closed when the aircraft glided over the vehicles using the road and came to a stop, tucked in as close to the hard shoulder as its starboard wing would allow. Somewhat ironically, the aircraft had been monitoring traffic flow on the highway. Following the incident, the highway had to be closed until the aircraft could be recovered. No-one was hurt in the incident however.
