In an exclusive interview on TODAY Monday, the passenger who landed a plane in Florida after his pilot fell unconscious last week recounted the 'scariest' moment of the entire ordeal.
He described reaching over the incapacitated pilot to grab the controls of the airplane.
"Just common sense, I guess, being on airplanes, because I knew if I went up and yanked that the airplane would stall," he told Savannah Guthrie."And I also knew at the rate we were going, we were probably going way too fast and it would rip the wings off the airplane.Harrison quickly understood how much danger he and his fellow passenger were in.
"By the time I had moved forward to the front of the airplane, I realized that we had now gone into a dive at a very fast rate," Harrison said."All I saw, when I came up the front, was water out the right window, and I knew it was coming quick. Very, very quickly."Harrison said that when he saw the scene in front of him, he knew he had to do something.
"At that point, I knew if I didn't react, we would die," said Harrison, who is expecting a baby with his wife this summer."When I was flying and saw the state of Florida, at that second, I knew, I’m going to land there," he said."I don’t know what the outcome is going to be. I don’t know how it’s going to happen. But I’m going to have to land this airplane, because there is no other option.
