  1. Someone popped one of those Las Vegas cannabis edibles and got too "high."

  2. becoming 'COMMON' these days –
    Pfizer should think about sponsorship 😀

  3. They were very lucky to have that pilot on board!

  4. Way to discredit the actual co-pilot who safely flew the plane.

  5. Mid-air scare. Let’s not ask why…let’s just “hope”.

  6. I wonder if He clocked in first

  7. i once landed a plane with my bare feet as i was holding the wings together . Honest

  8. Well thank God there was another pilot that helped him out.

  9. It’s only up from here for the off duty

  10. Back off, I'am a doctor. Sorry, I'am a pilot.

  11. Thank the gods that piolot was there. They better give him something good.

  12. I know a lot of people will say “the co-pilot can handle this, no biggie.” While technically true, that’s not the point. It’s always preferable (and safer) to have an additional person who can take controls if needed. If nothing else, this backup pilot made things much easier for the co-pilot, and that shouldn’t be taken lightly…

  13. STOP ending the videos with George it ruins them!

  14. Honestly this shouldn’t have even been on the news. Props to the pilot but that co pilot is also extremely experienced and knows what he is doing….

  15. Arizona sex trafficking source is in New Mexico, America Joaquin el Chapo is the leader.

  16. The reason that passenger pilot was on that plane ✈️ because the good Lord was in charge. Somebody, somewhere must’ve prayed beforehand for safe passage. God heard.

  17. Damn they pulled the guy onto duty on his day off

  18. Oh aren’t they changing pilot programs lowering their standards…let’s see how this works out

  19. The worst thing you could hear on PA system is “Is there a commercial pilot on board?” Followed by seeing pilot carried out of cockpit unresponsive.

  20. What if the title was "Off duty pilot refuses to help on duty pilot after medical episode"? Then is he an instant villan or did he just do what he was supposed to?

  21. Did Striker land the plane? Were all counting on you..

  22. Co-pilot can easily land the plane safely by himself. He normally flies/lands 50% of the flights. They always want to make it sound like it would have been very difficult without the extra pilot. That’s not the case.
