Preliminary investigation indicates that the “79 year old male pilot suffered a medical emergency upon final approach”.
The passenger, a Connecticut woman, took control of the aircraft, a 2006 Piper Meridian, and attempted to land the plane but crashed outside the runway.
The aircraft’s left wing broke in half and the two people on board were taken to a local hospital.
Police said the pilot was flown by helicopter to a Boston hospital. He is in serious life-threatening condition. The passenger (a 68 year old woman) was not injured and was evaluated at Martha’s Vineyard Hospital before being released.
My Take…
This is an incredible story that has not gotten any media attention. Even though the pilot is in advanced age, there are several lessons here:
- In the COVID-19 vaccine era, no plane should fly with only 1 pilot, especially small planes.
- Passengers must be aware that they may be called upon to land a plane, given how frequent pilot incapacitations have become (due to COVID-19 vaccine injuries). Those who fly frequently may want to look into getting some flying lessons, just in case!
- The passenger managed to land the plane and saved both their lives. This miraculous story should be getting much more mainstream attention than it has.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity
by Michel Chossudovsky
Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.
“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”
