I have to say this is the best Florida man story ever
😆 That's mean 🤭 I think not even any Man in Florida is a Florida man 😉
Finally, a positive Florida man story.
Yes really I know what you mean
Omg! I remember hearing about this! So happy to hear the pilot made a full recovery - he’s so resilient.💛
An aortic tear! Wow. No way to know this unless you have a CT scan of the chest and abdomen. And surviving this is a miracle!
The pilot has angels disguised as humans all around him. Incredible story of survival and miracle.
bravo to all three - courage is their common denominator - a friendship like no other-
Wow, survival after an aortic dissection is more unlikely than surviving a novice non-pilot landing of an aircraft. An amazingly unlikely outcome from both unexpected events.
True
My dad had an aortic dissection at 43. He’s had two open heart surgeries since and is still living at 72, tougher than tough
The pilot was multiple saved.
First by the passenger and the controller team, then by the ambulance team, then the surgeon and nurses team. And above them all by god.
GOD. With a CAPITAL G.
@@jamesbender1967 you can't make God smaller just with a wrong letter.
God is God.
Nothing can make God smaller?
Lovely story🥰
This story has Florida Man level of craziness but with a good ending ✌️
An amazing story.....three smart guys....intelligence takes many forms.
The only thing that would have made this reunion better was if Robert Morgan, the air traffic controller, was there too.
I agree
As a 32 year Veteran and pilot many years ago this story brought tears to my eyes.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR FAMILIES🙏
I'm so happy the passenger/ pilot lived and just as happy for the real pilot. If the real pilot had not spoken up............................
It's great to hear such a positive story these days with so much negative news around us.
Oh wow! I thought the pilot passed away! Such amazing news! 👏
Refreshing to see such a positive story now and then. ☺️ The affection between the men is so cool.
How much I love miracles ❤🙏🏼
❤ A true miracle
❤❤❤
Wow! What a miracle all around
Miracle.. God was watching over them that day guiding the plane guiding the hands of the surgeon thank you for sharing
John Ritter and Lucille Ball both died of aortic dissections.
Somebody get that passenger some flight lessons! Great job and mentality. Congrats to the pilot for doing the hard work to get back in the seat, too.
Amazing men, both of them.
This is a beautiful story.
Blessings
This has litetally given me goosebumps on my goosebumps !!
Wow !! God's angels were with all three of them. What an amazing thi g tohappen and espe ially that tge pilot has made such a good recovery .I guess a 3 way longterm friendship will grow from this experience . Flying a loane with no previous experience ... facing all of those dial-things in the cockpit ?? Just WOW !!!
PRAISE GOD!!!
Glory to God!
Amazing!
I just can say ; WOW!
Thanks for the update
So many miracles
Good men
Just an extraordinary story - three very amazing people.
Such a fantastic story! God was with everyone involved.
I stopped flying with my dad when i was 19 years old. I just finally put my foot down & said "no"! He lived 41 more years but he was overweight with high b.p & there was no way that i was going to fly any of his airplanes!
Beyond frightening event!Ken that you are still alive is a true miracle.
Great ending.
Australia
God Bless all ....
God is so good
❤❤❤
Florida man powers activated
Amazing story. But who was in the co pilot seat when Darren was just lounging? And why did that person just hand off the controls to a complete novice?
Apparently the person in the co pilot seat was a friend of the pilot, not a pilot himself. He also didn't have any flying experience, he was another passenger. Darren jumped to take charge and was keeping a level head, so it made sense to defer to him. He was apparently a big help though, it wasn't like he was curled up in the back crying or anything. There was only one working headset though, so while Darren was able to listen to instructions from air traffic control, the other guy couldn't hear the instructions to assist effectively.
its kind of weird how so many doctors seem to have that last name
Smart people what can I say
It's like Smith. It's a really common name
What about the guy with no flying experience, why isnt he hear as well.
keep watching the video
@@psychlover42it was about 60n seconds. I would have liked to hear more from him and less from the pilot.
I came here to say this as well! He is the real guy that saved the pilots life. The doctor came after him. The pilot wouldn’t died if this guy couldn’t have landed the plane or wasn’t on that plane w/ him. He is a true hero.
@@sydneyrose9855keep watching the video he's shows up there later
@@sydneyrose9855 Yeah. If it was not for the pilot, the doctor would not have anybody to save. Not much mention of him.
Dennis Quaid did a movie similar to this recently.
God made this all happen
Well if the confidence to go up in that plane isn't an advertisement for that doctor's faith in his work idk what is.
How were all his medical costs covered?
Like everything other in this case - Pure Miracle! ☺ ☺ ☺
There's typo in the year. Should be 2022 ?
Correct--May, 2022. Good catch.
Yes, I saw that typo right away.
Forget about the doctor, where is the real hero that landed your plane for you and truly saved your life? Let’s not forget sir! The doctor came after him. Please celebrate your true hero.
At the end of the video….
The guy has experience. Don’t be fooled
And surviving an aórtic tear after such delay… is way more miraculous!
My EXACT thoughts!!!!!
But what about congradulatingbthe guy that landed the plane he needs regonition also
i think the reporter fancy's Darren aha!! never the less great job Darren wasn't your day neither the pilots, great outcome
Even Neil Armstrong crashed a plane. Flying isn't easy.
i wouldnt fly if i was him...Wonder how he even got cleared...What if he dies on someone again
The guy had experience . Off the record training. Don’t be fooled… he did not have zero flying experience . He just can’t divulge that!
Netflix make movie
Why don't you cover some real news?
He is too old to fly
65? No.
He’s not flying, jumbo jets, and he’s been cleared to fly by six……. Yes six doctors. What more would you like?
I’m 82 and I fly
❤❤❤
