The information about the plane attempting to land on the fly-over bridge is incorrect. It was landing on the wide median at the juncture between I20 and Hwy 287. With both the Rangers Ballpark and Cowboy Stadium (few locals use the commercial designations), banner-towing planes above Arlington are a common sight.

According to the person the plane is headed toward, it hit a bump and became airborne again before hitting the bridge and the truck.
