found a linky.

apparently a traffic reporter became part of his report.

seems to be a good job on the part of the pilot.  :aok

Exactly where it was.........

It was a pilot and (I believe) a traffic reporter for KYW (1060 AM and channel 10)

They are both safe and sound.

It was mayhem from what I understand.

yep////////

think the pilot did the right thing. the report i linked above said they showed low oil pressure. there's a possibility he could've gone to the flying w, south jersey regional, or camden county airports.......but the closest of them was about 5 miles.
 better to do a precautionary landing, than to trash the engine, and risk further damage, and possible death.

still....i'd have landed on 295........no tolls there.  :noid :aok
