#pilot #airplane #emergencylanding
Ha.. I knew it.. Women are perfectly suited to be fighter pilots! Don’t let anyone lie to you.. those creatures are more capable than for which past history has given credit.
Women can be fighter pilots, there is nothing that prevents them based on gender. We aren’t living in the past
Get back in the kitchen girl !!!!! Lol jk
In WW2 they had a division in the American Military called WASP which stands for Women Airforce Service Pilots. They weren’t allowed to be fighter pilots at that point but women served as test pilots, ferried planes etc so more men could go up to the front lines. I wrote a paper on them in high school! Legends!
The fact that you dehumanized them and called them “creatures” really speaks volumes as to what you really think.
@@watchingnowhere Wrong.. I wrote it that way to deliberately Troll out into the open, those who try to skew comments and make then sound negative. Caught you!!!
Amazing, I get chills. Free airfare for life.
Not the case; that was not a commercial flight. It was a small aircraft & her husband was the pilot and she was the only passenger.

Jesus is coming!
Who passed away? The pilot? I take it the “passenger” was some form of pilot. Unbelievably lame reporting
The passenger who landed the plane was not a pilot. Her husband was the pilot, and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
@@EugWankerMan that is so sad. I can’t even imagine what she went through. May her husband rest in peace.
@@EugWanker Did they say they were related? I gleaned that they were strangers from this report…
(P.S. nice name lol)
It’s pretty common to conceal the identity of people involved with things like this. There may be a report later, maybe not.
@@Typical.Anomaly It was mentioned in reports elsewhere.
Don’t care, news is the flood and No help from government
Sad Story. Her Husband was the Pilot, and he died. She did a great job.
This gives a whole new meaning to “He earned his (angel) wings to fly to Heaven on that day.😇😇”
Sad story, terrible reporting. Also, they expected her to crash it so they diverted her out to Bakersfield, which is a lot of open desert.
“Mythbusters” tested this scenario many years ago where main pilot can’t do his/hers job and it was proven that it can be done by complete novice if needed. It’s a little troubling that this has happen now few times already.
And yet some company are planning to allow just one pillot to fly a plane to save money …
So she obviously knew how to operate a plane if her husband was the pilot.
My husband is a registered nurse. I’m pretty sure you would not want me to practice medicine on you.
@@lindapindabelinda3570that’s different. She would have likely sat in the cockpit with her husband over several trips and would probably be more familiar with certain things than a complete novice.
Hero passenger? Or Pilot’s wife?
Both are true…
@@sandraconnelly7507 yea but one would think that she was just a passenger…the way the title and story presents
@@worldperishshe just not an average passenger, but the headline sounds a lot better with the passenger word. clickbait
Age of the pilot? How many on board? Experience of passenger hero? Reporter had one job 🤦🏾♂️
She killed him then landed the plane with ease. She should be arrested!
with all the war thunder pilots they should interface mouse and keyboard to the plane, and a third person pov camera
ONo Fish Yes Sad Story
100
How Is He Died?
By Flight?
The Pilot How How
Fish.
Why was he even allowed to operate a plane if he had such poor health? Something is a miss here!!
Heart attack
@@hp4415 Then obviously he had a dangerous health condition. He should have not been allowed to fly a plane especially a passenger plane.
@@maryjeanjones7569 huh? Anyone can have a heart attack, even when you are young and have no health complications. Just you have less chance of having a heart attack. Even commercial pilots have heart attack why flying before, this is just an unfortunate situation. Obviously the chances are small but You can’t tell people to not flying because there is small chance they will have a heart attack why flying. Do you tell people they can’t drive a car because they might have a heart attack?
@@hp4415 No not anyone. Yes those with health issues which doctors are aware of. Flying a passenger plane or driving a car has no comparison. Doctors have the ability to stop both with heart conditions from driving.
Private jet?
It’s not NBC’s business to see who talked to who
I feel like this video should have gotten way more views
Another good argument for only flying during daylight hours. Non-pilots would struggle to fly and land at night.
How do you report such a great story so poorly?
