Something you don’t see everyday. 8th Drive & Sirrine, Mesa. The helicopter’s engine shut down. The pilot kept his cool and landed it safely on this residential street. He had to avoid a light pole then brought it down. Nobody hurt and no property damage. Miracle! @FOX10Phoenix pic.twitter.com/cOBEv2vu5e
