They did touch down...look at the left edge of the road.  You can see all the dirt being kicked up.

Close shave for sure, good thing they bounced off the road, Those spotters would been through the grinder for sure.

Pretty old story, I remember hearing about this incident way back in October.  Guess the Daily Mail is a little behind the power curve eh?
