Check out this heart-stopping footage that shows the moment a pilot kept his cool after the plane suffered an engine failure mid-flight.
Professional seaplane pilot Antony Yen was flying the plane from Williamsburg-Jamestown Airport to Connecticut.
But just 10 minutes into the flight, with the plane around 600ft above ground, the aircraft lost fuel pressure.
While many folks in this situation would be in a major panic, Yen kept calm and managed to successfully glide the plane back down to the ground, with zero injuries to himself or his passenger – even the plane was undamaged.
