WATCH: A student pilot is in the air and the engine fails...
The engine fails whilst a student pilot is in the air. What happens thereafter is pretty amazing!
We can't say that we enjoy watching movies that involve planes, especially if those planes are taking nose dives or about to crash, specifically because we know that Vic Naidoo is a frequent flyer, as he has two homes.
But when it comes to many of these situations, we know that staying cool, calm, and collected is key. So when Rory told us about this video, we thought, "Mmm, what would you do in the same circumstance?"
A student pilot, Brian Parsley, loses control of his plane and keeps his cool, managing to land safely, but not without an S-bomb at the end of the video of him in the cockpit.
It goes to show that playing it cool does have an impact on handling stressful situations. He lost power in the plane engine but manages to get in touch with air traffic control. At first he cannot secure a safe landing spot as he was close to a residential area. But he manages to find a clear field and the landing is not as bumpy as we thought it would be...
