cars moved over to make room for me and i'm sure it's a day they will remember. everything worked out fine. >> reporter: it did take a couple of hours to shuttle that the san martin airport, some had to be done by hand as they tried to shimmy it around signs and other obstacles. the pilot wayne wright said he's been flying for 40 years and sometimes he told me, quote, stuff happens. no one was injured and the airplane was not damaged. it is here at san martin where it's getting some service now. we do not know the extent of the malfunction but i can tell you that highway 101 was backed up for quite some time today, five miles in both directions as it was just too much for lookie-loos not to look at this airplane as it shuttled down the highway. thom jensen, nbc bay area news. now, thom has been tweeting from that scene with the very latest, all updates on the
