A Cessna 208 went into a nosedive, dropping more than 3,000 feet in just 16 seconds, according to flight data, after the pilot suffered a medical emergency. Air traffic controller and flight instructor Bobby Morgan was able to talk a passenger through the situation and to a perfect landing.

#EmergencyLanding #AirTrafficController #Cessna208
God was in control 🙏
Oh wow well good thing you had the courage to take over the flying not too many people would have been able to do any of that. Thank you for saving all your lives.
Hey baby 😘
@Somnus Waltz I think something’s up with you lol. Your comments are weird man
@Felcyn Channel ok…….? Wasn’t talking to you but sure, whatever you say
@Somnus Waltz okay baby 😘
truthhttps://youtu.be/dpoFCCQYllw
this is one of those scenarios i think about in my head in the shower
Lord works in mysterious ways
wow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUsZk23V1Gk
He was so calm God bless him and his family 😍😍
Theme song for this video : 🎵“When the going gets tough, the Tough💪🏼 get going.. when the going gets rough..”🎵👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is why you play Microsoft Flight Simulator!!!!!
😊😊😊
He was plain lucky. A Cessna caravan is a complex aircraft and nothing to mess around with.
He was also PLANE lucky.
Best part that I saw elsewhere is the first-time ‘pilot’ was on the way home to join up with his pregnant wife. Talk about a good reason not to give up and die. He had a child to meet in the not-too-distant future. Well done sir!
You mean he had left his pregnant wife alone to go on vacation with his buddies?
@Nat Probably work travel just being two passengers… however John didn’t mention vacation or work so we can’t assume.
Pilot probably had a blood clot from the vaccine.
Peace and Blessings 🙏🏾
great, great, great, job.
no such thing as coincidence. grateful that guy was working that day. count your blessings each day!
AMEN..🙏
✌
Clearly that guy is a gamer.
Wonderful story!!!!!!
I can’t even land a plane in flight sim 2020.
Finally! Good news!!! Yes, there was a medical emergency but it wasn’t caused by a violent opportunistic criminal.
Or a warlock or a demented dentist.
Was it Harrison Ford?
That’s one helluva teacher!!
An angel was watching over both of these men.
So basically a pilots license is a suggestion… Got it ☑️
Believe it or not, there are ultralight aircraft you can buy, make and fly, that don’t require any sort of a license or training to fly.
This happened also back in the day in the UK . Hope the pilot is OK
#HBOmovieoftheweek
Holy heart attack. This guy was so calm. Great job everyone.
Heart attack the pilot had lol
“How do you know how to fly the plane??”
“You know….playstation!”
Had a chance to fly copilot once but pilots wife in back seat wanted no part of it. I didn’t want to start divorce proceedings at 10,000 feet
🤔
Outstanding!!! That guy must be proud.
I believe in angels as the song says and this is proof.
Hey let’s go flying they said!!!, it will be FUN they said!!!, we’ve done this a million times they said!!!, what could possibly go wrong they said!!!, me after this trip 😑😑😑
That should be a sign for a career for sure!
Why is no one interviewed the man who landed the plane?? They’re only interviewing the instructor who talked him through it
He will be ‘Ellen’s show next week
Finally one NBC News story, I can believe.
Right, it is nice to be able to pick and choose the stories you can believe. 😏
More of stories like this, NBC. Less political nonsense and BAD news.
They look like brothers.
Bravo praise be to God.
Just take a moment and imagine how much worse this could have been if they weren’t vaccinated
Nothing but God!!!!
That’s nothing! I want to see him land a 747-500 with a rudder hard over.
i will show this video to my mom, when she asks me not to play computer games
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.
10-4!
Quite the discovery flight!
??? Way too many questionmarks here. Are there any videos in which the hero himself speaks and explains how he managed to land the plane?
Wow
Praise God
Wow, thats amazing!
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.
Bravo
Republican Party is greatest threat to humanity
Thank God 🙏🏾💯
All those hours playing War Thunder finally paid back.
This is a miracle story!
Kinda like the Kingair story years ago out of Florida
God was in control. I’m so happy for the people whose lives have been saved
I would’ve shat my pants.
I was taught, any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.
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.
what medical experiment?
Love it. ❤
Cheapest class ever!!
wow!
💉🤔🤐🤷♂️
🇺🇸🇺🇸 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 🇺🇸 vote Republican leaders, not yours leaders.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Would love to hear the recording of that conversation beginning to end. Great job guys!
😊👍 Right on!!
Very very cool, the two guys deserve a kind of Nobel prize for being brave and saving lives in emergecies… very impressive, THANK YOU!!!!!
No
Ahh yes Nobel Bravery Prize, makes perfect sense 🤣
Great story, great outcome. There have been too many ga plane crashes recently.
What is the name of the pilot please tell
The pilot received the experimental gene therapy injection.
So nice to see a good ending these days. I hope the pilot pulls through.
Good job on their part
Hands down, he needs an honorary pilot’s license and a free GTA Online jet from Rockstar.
Landing is the diciest part of a flight.
THIS IS THE ULTIMATE “CRASH COURSE”.
“When the STUDENT is ready, the TEACHER will show up.”
INTELLIGENCE END RESULT IS, ALWAYS A “PERFECT LANDING”.
Pilots condition being unknown tells me he may be dead lol. If he was fine they’d just say so right?
So flying a plane isn’t that difficult
Same thing happened to 3 planes in 9/11 but there was a lang conflict between instructors and arab passengers
A Fantastic Teacher 👏 and A level headed Student. Made this A successful landing.
He should be very proud there’s experienced pilots that can’t even land that smooth
Just remember Yaw, Pitch, and Roll. Don’t forget, air speed, altitude, heading, artificial horizon. Oh yeah… don’t forget to say on radio ‘MAYDAY I don’t want to die” …good luck.
All the Indians here..
I think Vijay Raaz was a better flight instructor in the Movie Dhamaal 😂😂
Wife – “Geez babe!!! Are you still down in the basement playing those d@mn pilot video games?”
Husband – “Yeah. I’m giving lessons to all the passengers I just saved the other day. Gimme a break woman!”
Good news exists!! 👏🏻🥳
Two awesome people. I’m so happy for them. I hope they keep us updated on the poor pilot.
First time landing plane with no experience that some huge achievements right there
They should put a mandatory flight and driving school, to teach what to do if this to occur
Make sure to get the booster to finish you up.
Oh for heavens sake. Big deal! LOL. Only kidding! WOW!
great teacher/ instructor and student! wow to be given instructions by audio… if it be me… bye world…
that’s how I learned to swim, my friends threw me into the sea, and I got quick swimming lessons from them..
When your life is in danger, you learn lessons most easily.
Even though this looks like a small Cessna to a layman, this is actually a quite large and heavy single engine plane. A turbo prop with 600hp and a constant speed prop, which ups the difficulty factor for a landing. On the flip side, this is one of the easiest planes in the world to fly. As easy and forgiving as it’s smaller brother the 182 or even 172. Good job here.
Simply amazing
Get that guy a license
Nothing but God🙌
No flying experience.
Alternative conversation during the flight?
Passenger: Just tell me how to use the parachute instead!
Bravo 👏 👏 👏
This makes me feel like I need to learn how to fly a plane just in case. That’s scary.
