00:00
i fell into like a deep hole like an actual backyard hole no not an actual hole okay like
00:11
a internet hole oh yeah i don't know if we ever talked about this story but there's this crazy
00:16
story long before you know the story that we covered um earlier this year the guy on the
00:22
plane who'd never flown before and was able to land the plane yes right and then oh that guy yeah
00:28
like that because the guy talked him through it yes right yeah long before that like 10 years ago
00:33
and i'm not sure if we ever talked about this story when it actually happened this old broad
00:38
pretty much did the same thing an 80 year old woman i got whose husband croaked beside her
00:46
he's dead and she has to land this bird i think maybe we did i don't recall a second i know but
00:53
i don't know what we did two days ago i know i learned to land it because i was going to throw
00:57
him out of the plane yeah i killed him so i knew i had to land helen is her name helen collins oh
01:03
80 years old successfully landed a plane as it was running out of gas and the engine was sputtering
01:11
so kind of even more badass than the other dude yes but what is so odd about it this is why i fell
01:16
into this like hole yesterday watching all this stuff is that she sounds like it's just another
01:21
day in helen life like she doesn't sound scared she doesn't sound sad that her husband's dead
01:26
she's like thanks thanks bill all right oh wow well he died you know so first what i'm going
01:33
to let you hear goes on is the um news report of when this happened okay and it includes little
01:39
clips but then i have a lot of the audio from the actual flight okay so here's first how this
01:46
all happened let's take a listen woman who had to pilot a plane after her husband had a heart attack
01:51
ben kromholtz brings us more hi helen this is kathy hi kathy it's a hell of a place to be
01:59
despite her situation 2 000 feet in the air helen collins sounds calm okay helen um we're going to launch
02:07
another aircraft it'll come up and it'll fly right next to you and give you instructions okay i got
02:12
it with a guide plane on the way air traffic controllers on radio and her son on standby
02:18
collins circled the air over sturgeon bay son dad's gone get here in a hurry traffic controllers
02:24
consistently questioned collins about her speed and elevation but collins had other concerns i think i
02:30
want to run out of fuel on my right tank this is going to be a little bit a little bit of a flight
02:35
lesson but you'll enjoy it look sonovic went through controls had my practice turns and helped her
02:40
prepare the plane's landing gear collins even provided a light moment just before she was about to
02:46
attempt to land okay go ahead now close the road close the road over what do you mean by close the
02:51
road i'm talking to the people on the ground ellen don't you have any faith in me i do i don't trust the
02:57
drivers on the road near the end collins grew anxious i gotta land pretty quick my gas gauge shows
03:03
nothing okay we're going to get it on the next time around you got to be lined up pretty much with
03:08
the runway though in the end collins was able to come through power back off off clean the power off
03:14
power off i don't know what that means power off power off no it's up oh okay you're down oh wow
03:21
great job i guess i'm down i'm in a ditch you son of a bitch that's hilarious
03:29
it's like barbing her husband up there her husband was the pilot yeah her husband was the pilot so she
03:34
probably had a little bit of knowledge well she around together she's probably at least could steer
03:39
it and well he's old he was probably like listen i could die at any second she probably did that kind
03:45
of stuff with her guy but still would you be this calm like i have most of the audio here
03:51
i just can't imagine i'd never be this calm it doesn't year old broad it almost seems like
03:56
it's a recreation in a basement it doesn't sound like a plane's no i know but this is actual audio
04:02
i know she just sounds like she's making the call from the basement years after do you want me to put
04:08
my flaps down no don't do that yet we're just waiting here no no no helen no aircraft on the way that's
04:14
going to escort you down with a pilot that's familiar with that aircraft thank you hi kathy
04:22
this is so crazy that she's so calm i don't understand it it's just
04:25
hell of a place to be you know but it sounds like you're doing great i've cropped my underwear i did
04:33
solo but that's as far as i went oh so she did so that's fantastic and you've got a lot of air time
04:38
with your hubby my hubby is the guy that's gonna go airborne and just kind of talk you down helen did you
04:46
copy yes i copied my cell phone was on the floor i gotta get it to turn it on again hold on i dropped
04:54
my cell this plane is about to go nuts
04:58
we're standing by by the terminal and uh rob thought oh she's getting her cell phone right now
05:06
you can tell the plane's just banking it's not me it's not them calling her it's like someone else
05:26
yeah but if an old person gets a cell phone call they gotta stop everything i'm sorry i'd love to
05:32
land this thing but i i think it might be my sister calling i gotta i gotta take it judy judy is that
05:39
you i'm in a hell of a pickle right now uh herbert is dead i'm in the air oh yeah he's dead
05:48
well i've been waiting for him for a while my land called me hellfire helen
05:54
yeah she wanted to take a call exactly she's like trying to land a plane with her dead husband
06:03
beside her she wants to take a call my cell phone fell i gotta stop you know that phone was a jitterbug
06:09
too oh my god it was i'm just amazed a dead man beside her she's barely flown before and she's so
06:18
incredibly calm i hope they gave hell of like a sweet like bomber jacket or something some aviators
06:24
yeah that's how actually she like came right out of the plane just had all that stuff yeah
06:30
the tapes had her being like shut up hold on then she cranked up kenny loggins yeah
06:35
it's time for top gun helen yeah they were like you're going to top gun
06:40
highway to the dangers turn it down a bit real loud i was expecting maybe a little more hey is
06:51
that is there anything are there is there anything we can do for him or is everyone ready to take care
06:57
of him she doesn't even talk about him okay i'm gonna just rank things in order of how upset she was
07:04
about them okay uh and i'll only focus on three things okay yeah go ahead uh number three uh on
07:13
the list of things she was most upset about her husband dying so it seems that way number two
07:21
being in an airplane having to land it herself but the number one most important thing was she dropped
07:28
her cell phone that was the only that was the time i felt the most terror in her voice it's it's on the
07:37
ground it's below me somewhere her biggest cause that was herself that was yeah something yeah you're so
