Illinois Man Lands Plan Perfectly…While Having a Heart Attack.
Sometimes I come across a story and my gut reaction is, this can't be true...This is one of those. HuffPost
Normal folks have problems doing two things at one. Your mind is so focused on one thing that the other...it's not working.
Here's a story about a fella named Steve Nusbaum, taking this "two things at once" to a whole knew level.
Steve Nusbaum was flying his personal aircraft when he decided to make a sudden landing, on a farm. This son was watching and knew that something was was wrong.
It turned out that Steve had a heart attack in the air, and was able to safely land the aircraft. How bad were things for Steve? When the first responders arrived on the scene, they needed to give him two shocks from an automated external defibrillator to keep him alive, wow!
When his son ran over to the aircraft to check on his father, he had the seat back and Steve was laying down. Imagine having the strength and awareness to land this aircraft as he was basically dying!
More good news was that the following day, Steve was reported in stable condition.
This is just pure adrenaline and passion that "flew" this man to safety. The whole "fight or flight" knowing that you can fight this and make it through, or simply let the situation win...and basically pass away. Imagine the horror of his son watching on, knowing that something was going on with dad in the plane and there was NOTHING that could be done. So glad there was a happy ending.
