00:00Did you know that a plane once landed on its own, without a pilot or controls, and everything turned out fine? Let me tell you how it happened.
00:06On July 2, 1919 in the United Kingdom, British pilot Tommy Thompson was testing a new airplane
00:12when something went very wrong.
00:14The engine began to fail mid-flight, the plane became uncontrollable, and Thompson thought he was going to crash.
00:19star.
00:20Desperate, Tommy jumped out of the plane expecting the worst, but the incredible was about to happen.
00:25The plane didn't crash; instead, it continued gliding on its own, as if it had a life of its own, and landed gently in
00:31a field.
00:32The wind and the tilt of the plane caused it to descend slowly and land without any damage, without a pilot.
00:38It was the first ghost landing in history.
00:41The plane ended up in better condition than its pilot, who crashed into some bushes.
00:45What a story!
00:46Sometimes when you think everything is going to fall apart, things work themselves out.
00:50Incredible, but true!
