Humberside Airport, England, recorded a weird scene this morning as a passenger of the aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing after the pilot collapsed in the cockpit of the plane shortly after taking off.

CEOAFRICA news desk gathered that the inexperience passenger who almost gave in to panic was advised by two flying instructors on how to bring the plane down after they had received the distress call.

Mr. Murray, who works at a flying school based at the airport said he tried to keep the man calm as he talked him through the landing procedure, “The last thing you want to do is panic, then all sorts of things can happen” was his word to the passenger.

There were cheers in the airport control room as the man successfully landed the plane on its fourth attempt, "It's a fantastic feeling knowing I have achieved something and probably saved somebody's life,” was the man’s joyous expression.

However, the police has in their later report broke the tragic side of the scene indicating that the pilot who fell ill at the controls of his plane has died, adding that they were yet to uncover the cause of his death.
