Passenger Lands Plane - Pilot Incapacitation Cessna 208 Caravan, Florida. He managed to get to the front seat during a 6500fpm dive. Apparently he has absolutely no flight experience and is a manager at an interior design firm. What a legend.

I read about this, totally crazy! Props to the guy for keeping it together and landing the plane, hopefully the pilot is ok.

I watch this channel on YouTube sometimes.

I have no comment on your comment about Kobe but I do know about when pilots get disoriented in cloud banks. It seems incredible to us sitting on the ground on a sunny day but when you're up there, surrounded by white, and your instruments are telling you that your descending BUT you 'feel' like you're ascending then too many pilots will disregard the instruments.

It happens even to experienced and otherwise good pilots. The plane is found piled into a hillside after an inexplicable steady descent in low or zero visibility conditions, and everyone is scratching their heads while saying things like "But Bob was such a good pilot".

Kobe killed himself with "get-there-itis", a condition that causes pilots to ignore dangerous conditions. Kobe had already fired two pilots who put safety first. He found a yes-man who flew into IFR conditions and got predictably disoriented, and guided a perfectly working aircraft into a hillside.

And he's also a rapist.

Surprisingly gripping viewing.

Until enplanes are affordable I will keep my 172.

It's a fucking old timey tail dragger. Did the design team get lazy or what.
