This sounds like an absolutely gripping and inspiring story! The courage and composure of a 12-year-old stepping up in such a terrifying situation is truly remarkable. It's amazing to see how ordinary people can rise to extraordinary challenges when lives are on the line. I can't wait to witness this incredible journey of bravery and determination!
this is absolutely incredible a 12-year-old flying a plane and saving everyone is beyond amazing lucas's bravery and quick thinking are truly heroic what a remarkable story that will inspire so many people
What an amazing video. I can understand such a young lad not wanting all the publicity. It just goes to show that what you are really interested in, the end has no bounds. Well done, Lucas 🎉🎉
I watched the WHOLE video!!!!! Actually it was my kind of video... No deaths, no cussing, no yelling and only polite words spoken. AND the ending was a happy ending.... PERfect! Now, I'm gonna come up with an even better story! This story-telling thing is ingenious! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
He is a genius and a hero who saved the day. This was the first and maybe the last given the age of the boy my heart and gratitude go out to him. Incredible no one could have done it better.
💔 I hope stories like this inspire us all to cherish our health and hold our loved ones close. Thank you for sharing such a powerful and emotional narrative!
Let me be blunt: this is every traveler’s worst nightmare, especially for a kid like Lucas who loves planes. It’s not just the physical danger, but the psychological terror that sets in when the silence from the cockpit amplifies your fears. We trust technology and the professionals in the cockpit, but moments like this remind us how fragile that trust can feel when faced with the unknown. The tension in the captain’s voice and the sheer panic in the cabin are enough to shatter the illusion of control we all cling to when we fly. But here’s the real question: how does a 12-year-old boy, someone who sees planes as symbols of adventure and freedom, cope when that dream turns into a nightmare? Fear, when it’s out of your control, is one of the most primal human emotions. And maybe, just maybe, moments like this force us to confront the reality that no matter how safe we think we are, there’s always that lurking possibility of chaos. That’s a bitter pill to swallow, but it’s part of life.
The logical thing for the stewardess to do would have been to ask if there was a pilot on board. Any kind of pilot: commercial jet, military aircraft, general aviation, helicopter, whatever. When that didn't happen it was obvious that the story was fiction.
I remember a similar story many decades ago by Arthur Hailey, only that the person who intervened after the two pilots collapsed after taking a meal of fish was a former RAF retired soldier who used to fly war planes in the 2nd World War.
Runway 08/“Flight into Danger”. Both pilots had elected to eat Salmon for their dinner, and had been incapacitated by salmonella poisoning. The hero was a WW2 fighter pilot veteran who took the controls. The touchdown was late, and he had to ground-loop to bring the 707 to a halt, but not before uprooting the runway lights.
@@jennifera4350 It's nothing to do with standard practice. It's a hard and fast rule on virtualy every passenger carrying aircraft. The Flight crews Must each be served different meals.
@@MikeM275 You are correct. I tried to dig deeper into this story and the only thing I found is the same story with a different picture and different name and cities....it's all bull, every bit of it. Although I suspected it when the description of the landing was read....NO WAY.
@@mattrowan2680 I don't know how completely gullible one would have to be to think a 12 yr old could land an airliner lol. I'm a pilot with an ATP license with around 5000 hrs...haven't flown in many years but I know a little about this. No a 12 yr old would never in a million years be able to land a heavy...let alone they said he "trusted his instruments" lol...Kid doesn't have a clue what the instruments do...lol...then to top it off, they said he hit the thrust reversers LOLOL... I sometimes wonder why anyone would write such drivel then I noticed how many people fall for this stuff...sad, and funny. Mostly sad.
@@MikeM275 - I, likewise, was a former pilot and quickly realized this was a fake story. It is indeed stunning how many people are duped by these AI-written stories.
@@boyceottinger6735 I think people are so tired of all the negativiy with the state of their lives and the world, they are just yearning to grab hold of any positive and heartwarming story they see and hear. Even if it is AI fake.
My ears were glued to the voice describing the story, I did not care if the story was real or not, the story teller voice and how he was describing the experience mesmerized my curiosity to hear the entire story and I was looking at the kid photo and visualizing him on the cockpit because once in my life in the Old peaceful days, I was flying to Europe and the Pilots allowed me to sit in the cockpit and it was great experience watching 3 Pilots at work 2 on front and one on the back and they provided me bit of information of how the plane really flies and with this experience my mind was with the Kid Pilot and again if it was real, I hope the Airline Company and the Insurance company will pay for his education. Great Job Young Man and helping and defending people is great feelings and I am speaking from experience defending people I did not know.
Imagine being 12, just wanting a window seat for some cool cloud views, and next thing you know you're landing a Boeing 737. Talk about an unexpected 'take your kid to work day
Only to thing here that is an issue for me is they don’t ask him what is his experience, secondly they automatically land airplanes, with the right preparation. For the rest this is a realistic story maybe without that both pilots was out😂 I enjoyed it
woooooooooooooo These little Guys should Never be underestimated with their Brains. With this Information Technology ( I.T) generations everything is possible Really. With the right exposure to Games-stimulations Electronic gadgets Nothing is impossible, anything is possible.
Nice story. I can't find one single reference to this anywhere. The chances of a kid actually reading the flight manual for a 737-800 is unlikely. And remembering it all is even more unlikely. But it is possible, if you've put in a lot of time on an airliner flight sim. They get pretty detailed in accuracy.
LOL...Pilots don't say 10/4..truckers do. Pilots usually say affirmative to denote a positive acknowledgment of a transmission. BTW, this is a fake story.
Pure fiction, of course! I don't know why people believe these hundreds of commercial , A.I.-narrated, overly dramatized click-bait programs over RUclips. Sure, some are entertaining, but please don't get emotional about them.
Waahhh! Wasn’t too far in, but that I thought maybe it was one of these fiction stories online. I get so mad when I am fooled. How can I possibly be an intelligent voter in the election if I am so easily fooled by a dumb story?
This is a fictional story, there is no need to ask God for so many blessings for a character who is not real. In any case, it serves as a script for a Hollywood movie.
Great job Lucas!!! Kids can become Pilots at 15 as well as certified SCUBA Divers. I spent 2 years in Civil Air Patrol '77>'79 & watched about 30 kids grow into their dreams. In order to get my 2Lt. bars it was required that I escort 2 female cadets to a local Army Base in South VA where we 3 took a required Chopper ride on a Huey. Beat us to death but fun. 2 Army Sgts. were assigned as our Escorts for the weekend, it was a success. I'm also a PADI SCUBA certified diver for life in July 1977. I also got recertified 25 yrs later (which is NOT required actually) at Ft. Lee Army Base in Petersburg, VA. Got the very same grade as the first time. So I know a good bit about all of this.
There is an Easter Bunny, just because you never saw this bunny it does not mean the bunny does not exist. The bunny is there just not for people like you who have no faith. Shame on you.
A couple of things to change. They are not reverse thrusters. They are thrust reversers. Also, the narrator said they landed on asphalt. Then he spoke of the concrete pavement. Those are not the same. But the story is very compelling.
@@demiurgiac Right ... but when creating such a wonderful fantasy story that kids can get into ... the more details the author can generate means the better the context. Knocking both pilots out with bad homemade food from the same source is one simple idea. They shared a lunch or snack that had unknown ingredients ... Ha .... and off we go into the wild blue yonder.
@@michaelpcooksey5096 Of course, I am all in for wonderful little fanciful children's stories for all the obvious reasons. My point is, assuming posters here who seem to think this is a true story are adults, I am perplexed by their level of naivety.
@@demiurgiac Right ... Reality Surfing ... or perhaps really young adolescents wanting a mini break from their schoolwork?? Ha. Thanks for the comebackc
Any real stewardess would not let a kid in the cockpit. No mention of what they did with the co-pilot. No mention of the headset not fitting. No mention of which runway to land on. No mention of how to flair the jet. No mention of engine throttle lever slow down. And, probably a bunch of other duties. And, I'm not a pilot.
Yes this is in incredible unbelievable story. anyone here praising this 12 year old for landing this plane, I want you to know I own a bridge in Brooklyn that I can sell to you real cheap like, and you can give it to this boy as a gift for his incredible ability he displayed in landing this plane .
Is this actually real and I like him already? I really do I am blind and I’ve been flying from my school from school to home and I’ve flown from my school for the blind to home and what I mean by I’ve flown there is like I just have been on the airplane and it’s amazing. I love it. I’ve been to Hawaii last year for my birthday. I stopped flying ever since Different difficult times of flight times for my departure to school and back home but yeah, I’ve been in Hawaii last year and I love traveling and that boy just inspired me and I really like that. He has done a good deal for everyone and I also think that anyone could do anything Especially a person who has been from Oregon to Hawaii and that’s very rare to have someone to give you a lifetime flight experience for free like a flight for free I mean a lifetime amount of flights for free whoever could have that opportunity because seriously that’s rare and it’s good. This story has really inspired me. I’d like to meet him even though he’s an Oregon.
There is no way an inexperienced twelve year old would have been permitted to land a passenger airliner at a major airport. The risk to the airport and the close by city would have been too great. The plane would have been diverted to a smaller, rural airport or landed in the ocean.
@@kevingallagher6804 The twelve year old became the pilot. He would have been instructed to take the plane to either an available rural airport or land the plane in the ocean away from Honalulu, eliminating the possibility of any liability on the island of Oahu, a very urban, densely populated area. In fact, if he had been permitted to land the plane in Honalulu, as described in the video, there would have been an uproar over all of the lives put at risk by the irresponsible airline and air traffic controllers. Heads would roll!
When about in 1968...... i was 14....my dad had us 3 boys in a car while he tipped a few in a tavern near our home.Then he came out and said the bar tender passed out.....we need a server.So in i went.I served beers....shots.......mixed drinks like a pro.Then i got drunk off of 3 beers.........hick-up.....buuuuuurpp..!!
I am a Licensed Pilot. This is pure fantacy. First a controller would not know how to advise a would be pilot. Second a controller would find a qualified pilot on the specific aircraft to guide anyone attempting to fly a plane. An emergency would be declared and a frequency set aside for communicating with the cockpit. Third there are dozens of individual procedures for controlling, approaching and landing an airplane. Just the radio procedure would be tough for a kid. Forth the description of the flight attendants behavior is outside of the training she would have.
First step would be to set the altitude on the A/P panel, and re-engage the autopilot. For a 737-800 It would be "smarter" to ensure the Flight Management System has all the waypoints set, and then setup for an ILS landing, with the auto-brake set, spoilers armed etc. Chances are, they would do a "control check" on the way, to ensure that the "flare" is handled correctly on touchdown. While a 737-800 can flare on auto-pilot, it's not done at most airliners, as they fly the last 200ft or so. Assuming a scenario like this actually happened.... 1) The crew have separate meals for this reason 2) The lead flight attendant typically has experience with the cockpit, especially since they changed the policy of two "crew" at all times, so if a pilot steps out, the flight attendant takes the seat. A lot of senior flight attendants have time in the airlines flight sim, and possibly a private pilot certificate. 3) It wouldn't be out of the question that a more experienced pilot, even a military pilot would be on board. This happened when a USAF B-1 pilot handled the radios and checklists, after the Captain (ONLY!) became ill, with the First Officer landing her jet. 4) The USAF would most likely scramble a couple of fighter jets to escort the airliner into land, and ensure they were on approach and on glideslope etc. assuming they didn't have an experienced pilot (eg. co-pilot, or another type rated from another airline) at the controls. They did not use a fighter escort for the B-1 pilot, as it was unnecessary for the First Officer to land her jet. Detailed enough? PS. The B-1 pilot's name is Capt. Mark Gongol, Ohio ANG, and as of 2017 is flying A330s for Delta Airlines. There are videos about him on RUclips.
This is a great story, BUT, one major question seems to have been completely overlooked. What was the cause of the pilots passing out, but were still alive !!!
A serious error. HOW COME A NOT-SO-STRONG HOSTESS AND THE KID COULD MOVE AWAY A SLUMPED PILOT FROM THE SEAT IN A CRAMPED ENVIRON BEFORE THE KID GOT SEATED TO FLY THE PLANE? EVEN FICTIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FAIL-SAFE.😅
This story gave me chills! 😳 Imagine the courage it takes for a young kid to step up in such a terrifying moment. Do you think you’d have the bravery to take control if it meant saving everyone? Let’s talk about this incredible act of bravery! ✈💪
little secret--pilots dont fly the planes, the computers do. pilots are there to monitor the systems and for emergencies. the planes are perfectly capable of flying themselves and landing by ground control. the pilots are there mainly because passengers wouldn't fly on the aircraft if they weren't
" the planes are perfectly capable of flying themselves and landing by ground control"???? "Little secret" back to you. You have no clue about airplanes. Decisions about weather, alternates, fuel load, other traffic both in the air and on the ground, emergencies, just to name a few tasks that a computer alone can not do. And most laughably... commercial airplanes do not "land by ground control... EVER.
I watch these videos hoping the story is true but there is always something that tips me off that it is not. While the situation of the pilot being out and a young passenger being one who can land the plane, could be true, why didn't the flight attendant ask If there was a pilot on board.

An emergency would be declared and a frequency set aside for communicating with the cockpit. Third there are dozens of individual procedures for controlling, approaching and landing an airplane. Just the radio procedure would be tough for a kid. Forth the description of the flight attendants behavior is outside of the training she would have.
First step would be to set the altitude on the A/P panel, and re-engage the autopilot.
For a 737-800 It would be "smarter" to ensure the Flight Management System has all the waypoints set, and then setup for an ILS landing, with the auto-brake set, spoilers armed etc.
Chances are, they would do a "control check" on the way, to ensure that the "flare" is handled correctly on touchdown. While a 737-800 can flare on auto-pilot, it's not done at most airliners, as they fly the last 200ft or so.
Assuming a scenario like this actually happened....
1) The crew have separate meals for this reason
2) The lead flight attendant typically has experience with the cockpit, especially since they changed the policy of two "crew" at all times, so if a pilot steps out, the flight attendant takes the seat. A lot of senior flight attendants have time in the airlines flight sim, and possibly a private pilot certificate.
3) It wouldn't be out of the question that a more experienced pilot, even a military pilot would be on board. This happened when a USAF B-1 pilot handled the radios and checklists, after the Captain (ONLY!) became ill, with the First Officer landing her jet.
4) The USAF would most likely scramble a couple of fighter jets to escort the airliner into land, and ensure they were on approach and on glideslope etc. assuming they didn't have an experienced pilot (eg. co-pilot, or another type rated from another airline) at the controls. They did not use a fighter escort for the B-1 pilot, as it was unnecessary for the First Officer to land her jet.
Detailed enough?
PS. The B-1 pilot's name is Capt. Mark Gongol, Ohio ANG, and as of 2017 is flying A330s for Delta Airlines. There are videos about him on RUclips.
This is a great story, BUT, one major question seems to have been completely overlooked. What was the cause of the pilots passing out, but were still alive !!!
nice story
A serious error. HOW COME A NOT-SO-STRONG HOSTESS AND THE KID COULD MOVE AWAY A SLUMPED PILOT FROM THE SEAT IN A CRAMPED ENVIRON BEFORE THE KID GOT SEATED TO FLY THE PLANE? EVEN FICTIONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FAIL-SAFE.😅
What happened to the 2 Pilots? Why did they pass out? Why was that part left out of the story?
Wow👏👏👏
Real or not, i enjoyed the story.
Is this a true story? When did this happen?
Name of the movie
Hmmm.... Interesting... When did this happen? I scoured the internet for lucas andrews, and pacific skies flight 205. But found nothing.
This story gave me chills! 😳 Imagine the courage it takes for a young kid to step up in such a terrifying moment. Do you think you’d have the bravery to take control if it meant saving everyone? Let’s talk about this incredible act of bravery! ✈💪
Good story but not real. There is NO Pacific Skies Airline.
Looking at 3 seconds of every 3 minutes is all you need to follow this video.
Pacific Skies is NOT an airline, a pilot training academy YES. The story is bogus.
Pilot training academy pure fiction
Of course it is pure fiction. Just enjoy it and don't bitch. Relax !
I pitty the IQ of the people that believe this garbage lol
Who cares
❤❤❤
I didnt find the name of the airlines! Why is that?
Just a story only. It is good story only
this would make quite a story if true cant image both pilots passing out 1 yes but 2 very rare
T H A N K Y O U !!
little secret--pilots dont fly the planes, the computers do. pilots are there to monitor the systems and for emergencies. the planes are perfectly capable of flying themselves and landing by ground control. the pilots are there mainly because passengers wouldn't fly on the aircraft if they weren't
" the planes are perfectly capable of flying themselves and landing by ground control"????
"Little secret" back to you. You have no clue about airplanes.
Decisions about weather, alternates, fuel load, other traffic both in the air and on the ground, emergencies, just to name a few tasks that a computer alone can not do. And most laughably... commercial airplanes do not "land by ground control... EVER.
This is a good story, but....................?
Doubt if this is a real story. It wasn't anywhere in the news. I guess it's fiction.
I watch these videos hoping the story is true but there is always something that tips me off that it is not. While the situation of the pilot being out and a young passenger being one who can land the plane, could be true, why didn't the flight attendant ask If there was a pilot on board.
Great story but what happened to the polits?? Why did they both pass out??
It's a fake story, you can decide if they die or live.
Is this real. Or is it a story ?
It’s fiction but very entertaining. It can happen of course. Or something similar.
Nice audiofiction for 8-13 year olds.
FAA Part 121 requires two commercial pilots in the cockpits. Story, heartwarming, but false.
Is it story or real story
This just a TALE-it is not true. I would grade it C+
What a story!😂😂
Why is the video still and no view of the planes travel!?!
