I can't even imagine how I would handle this situation, so I have to give major props to this Florida man who landed a plane after the pilot had a medical emergency.
The two were flying in a single-engine Cessna 208 when the pilot became incapacitated, and when most people would just assume that it's over, the passenger was able to call air traffic control and follow their instructions to safely land the plane at Palm Beach International Airport with zero experience.
The condition of the pilot is not available and the FAA is investigating.
