A rookie student pilot answered nature's call just moments after the two-person small plane he was flying experienced engine failure and landed on an Alabama highway in broad daylight.
A couple and their children were driving along Interstate 20 in Talladega on Saturday afternoon when they came upon the shocking scene and captured it on video, including the moment the pilot-in-training stepped out of the Cessna parked at the side of the road and walked into a nearby field to relieve himself.
In the video, Fredie Carmichael's wife asks him to pull over at the side of the road to make sure everyone on board the plane is OK.
Fredie Carmichael and his family were driving from Georgia to Mississippi when they witnessed a small plane land on I-20 in Alabama Saturday
The plane experienced an engine failure shortly after taking off from Talladega Municipal Airport
A student pilot stepped out of the plane unharmed and stood on the highway, with Carmichael's wife videotaping him
Feeling relieved: The student then headed to the shoulder of the road and proceeded to urinate
'Maybe they're having a medical emergency,' she speculates.
At that moment, the student pilot emerges from the left side of the plane and flashes a thumbs up at the occupants of the vehicle to signal that all is well.
The man, with his hair tied in a ponytail, then heads towards the grass on the shoulder of the highway and proceeds to urinate, with his back to the road.
'Is he peeing?' the woman in the car asks with a gasp, then instructs her son to close his eyes.
The plane had just taken off and was 4 or 5 miles away from Talladega Municipal Airport when the engine failed.
Neither the student nor the instructor, veteran pilot Jim Williams, was harmed
Williams (pictured) has been flying planes and teaching for 36 years
The pilot, Jim Williams, told WSB-TV he went through the troubleshooting process, but nothing was working.
'I was out of options,' he said, 'and the interstate was the closest, so I made a left turn and dodged some traffic and a sign and manged to get it stopped.'
Carmichael, who lives in Georgia and was driving through Alabama on his way to Mississippi to spend Christmas with family, said it look like the right wing of the Cessna was going to clip a car that was in front of him.
Williams said he's worked as a flight instructor for the past 36 years. Saturday's flight was his student's first lesson.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
