A teen pilot is crediting God for helping him make an emergency landing right on the side of a busy highway after his plane experienced engine failure while on the flight.
Teen Pilot
The 18-year-old Brock Peters is being hailed a hero by his family for saving their lives after a terrifying accident. Brock, together with his grandmother and two cousins, were flying on a single-engine plane when the engine suddenly malfunctioned.
He panicked but tried to remain calm to focus on solving the problem. Brock tried to restart the engine but it failed, he knew he had to make an emergency landing. All the while, he could hear his grandmother sobbing in the passenger’s seat.
“I heard the engine go, I don’t have any power, my rpm is going down. So, I had to make that final decision to put it down on that road,” Brock recalled.

Emergency Landing
The 18-year-old has only recently been given his pilot license and was still inexperienced. Yet, he was able to land the plane safely on the side of the road. No one got injured during the incident. In an interview with CBS News, Brock detailed the incident and how his training helped him make the safe emergency landing. He also shared how he knew God helped him during the ordeal.
“I’m just glad it ended the way it did. God helped me through that one because there were some things like, I was coming down and there are power lines that went across the road,” Brock said. “When I was coming down, I didn’t see those until after I’d got out and checked everything out.”
