Is a Nisson one of those cheap knockoff Nissans?

I did some research, and from what I can tell, at that stage of landing, the airplane would be traveling between 150 and 180 miles per hour.

I doubt that truck can reach that speed.

Any pilots out there are welcome to correct my numbers.

If its for real, somebody should sue for the danger the driver and the plane were in.

CGI

This was a blatant rip-off of '405 - The Movie', which itself, was a blatant rip-off of a scene from 1984's Buckaroo Banzai.

For Nissons it is a $1000 extra for that feature. Nissans don’t have it. Sorry I had to do it! ;)

Definitely fake.

Do you know how much weight is on the nose wheel of your standard airliner? Me neither, but it's for sure more than 1/2 ton. If you look closely, you'll see that when the wheel comes down in the back of the pickup, it doesn't squat down even an inch.

It's the real thing. Captain Sully was behind the wheel of the Nissan.

I was the camera man for this commercial. I had to run 182 mph in order to stay ahead of the truck and plane. We would have had a longer commercial but my left and right Air Jordans both had blowouts. AAA towed me to a Sports Plus for new rubber.

Haven't seen the "Nisson" truck commerical, so can't tell. But this one certainly looks real.

My husband is a former American Airlines pilot and he says that this is FAKE; that if this were really tried, the truck would be crushed and the nose of the plane would grind into the truck/landing surface....

I think it’s fake, but only because it was a 727. Hardly any airline flies those anymore.

Had it been an Airbus, I would be more convinced.

BTW, here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzyJLtJjfqE

Everything is compositing and special effects. You can do this on your computer, with the right software and a fast enough system.

Thank you for all the replies. I figured as much. First, the speed the truck needed to attain and the suspension needed to bear the weight.

A special thank you to all who pointed out the “fat-fingering” of the word Nissan.
