  1. Landing is the diciest part of a flight.

  2. Hands down, he needs an honorary pilot's license and a free GTA Online jet from Rockstar.

  3. Good job on their part

  4. So nice to see a good ending these days. I hope the pilot pulls through.

  5. The pilot received the experimental gene therapy injection.

  6. What is the name of the pilot please tell

  7. Great story, great outcome. There have been too many ga plane crashes recently.

  8. Very very cool, the two guys deserve a kind of Nobel prize for being brave and saving lives in emergecies… very impressive, THANK YOU!!!!!

  9. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘ Right on!!

  10. Would love to hear the recording of that conversation beginning to end. Great job guys!

  11. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ American people price of everything is up, do you know why? Big companies and Republicans leaders need your vote, they punish you to get you to reward on top of it. American people keep your eyes open to see what is going on right now, big companies do not want to taxes, therefore they want Republican leaders on control than they to worry about taxes. They you to made, to vote Republicans leaders,same Republican leaders who punish with high prices on everything. please don't make them laugh at you, don't not digging your own grave ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ vote Republican leaders, not yours leaders.๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  13. Cheapest class ever!!

  14. Robert Morgan, what a hero! They should keep him on permanent standby on double pay, as we can expect many more medical emergencies among pilots who are taking part in the huge medical experiment currently underway.

  15. I was taught, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

  16. I wouldโ€™ve shat my pants.

  17. God was in control. I'm so happy for the people whose lives have been saved

  18. Kinda like the Kingair story years ago out of Florida

  19. This is a miracle story!

  20. Several years ago, when the Berlin wall was still up, there was a story about a guy on the East side who stole a plane and flew his family over the wall to freedom in the West. He had no previous flying experience but he did it all perfectly. It was something none of the communist guards expected and so he got away with it. Later in an interview with his wife, she said he'd been practicing with remote controlled airplanes for a long time. So he knew what the plane would do and what controls he needed to adjust to keep the plane in the air.

  21. All those hours playing War Thunder finally paid back.

  22. Thank God ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ฏ

  23. Republican Party is greatest threat to humanity

  24. This is such a cool story. My anxiety would have just taken over, coupled with screaming and crying, then RIP to us. I'm to panicky.

  25. ??? Way too many questionmarks here. Are there any videos in which the hero himself speaks and explains how he managed to land the plane?

  26. Quite the discovery flight!

  27. The right person at the right time produces the right results. A pure blessing, could have been terribly bad for all involved, but our Lord saw fit to land that plane safely to the ground.

  28. i will show this video to my mom, when she asks me not to play computer games

  29. Thatโ€™s nothing! I want to see him land a 747-500 with a rudder hard over.
