Off Topic: Passenger lands plane after pilot dies

[Boxingmad]

I found this on YouTube and thought I'd share this with you. This is the audio from air traffic control in Florida guiding a passenger at the controls of a plane after the pilot died in mid-air. Amazing stuff.

Bearing in mind that this is only audio but it's gripping stuff. The cool heads of the air traffic controllers saved the day as they talked the "pilot" down to a safe landing.

Big deal. This has happened before. Didn't anyone watch the film Airplane?
