Passenger with “no idea how to fly” lands plane after pilot incapacitated
I bet this was a guy raised on video games. I was about to make a joke about it but I'm actually serious.Once I, a former Houstonian with no experience driving on ice, was driving through the snowy mountains and lost control of my car. Instead of panicking, my video-game-induced laser focus kicked in and I calmly piloted the car until the wheels gained traction and I could park the car on the side of the road.But learning how to focus in the midst of chaos, instead of panicking, is a technique I specifically had to learn in childhood to beat challenging levels of Super Mario Brothers.Thanks, video games.
