or any high wing for that matter - but a successful result nonetheless lol, unless he thought to smash the empennage - then it wouldn't go anywhere at all, some balls on that cop tho, can you imagine they were going to shoot the pilot at first with that assault rifle? hollywood stuff going on in Brazil.

John McLane's got nothing on this real Brazilian Federal Police Officer, who use his cop car to take down a plane loaded with smugglers and $150,000 of stolen electronics.

Smugglers have been flying into Paraguay, snagging stolen electronics (and a bicycle), and then flying them back to Brazil using this plane and runway. Someone tipped off the Feds in Ribeiráo Preto, Brazil who descended on the criminals with what looks like a lowly Chevy Trailblazer.

After smashing into the plane with the front of the car they were able to take down the aircraft, seize the goods, and arrest five individuals. It's a huge blow to organized crime in Brazil as it's suspected the aircraft was also being used for drug smuggling.

The cost to replace the windshield? About $300.

That Trailblazer had to be a sleeper, lol. But quite a decision of them to risk taking a plane wing to the face!

The two agents were pretty cool, but no where near as heroic as John McClane who is one man. McClane would've jumped onto the wing. Dodged bullets from the plane full of suspects, then would've held on by one hand while almost losing his gun. He'd then pull himself up, rip open the door, and mow down the bad guys with a combination of guns and punches.

Damn, that's some crazy stuff. I doubt it's a huge blow to organized crime however as I'm assuming they have a lot more planes.
