The passenger, later identified as Darren Harrison a 39 year old Floridian and vice president of an interior design company was heading home after a fishing trip in the Bahamas on Tuesday afternoon when the pilot flying the private single-engine airplane he was on suddenly became “incapacitated” and “incoherent” due to a medical emergency.

After the pilot passed out, the plane went into a nosedive.

Morgan explained to NBC’s Kerry Sanders on “Today” on Thursday that it was no easy feat for Harrison to gain control of the plane.

“The pilot was slumped over on the controls, and they pushed him back, they get him out of his seat, and then they had to get on the controls and pull back the plane so that it would climb up out of the dive that it was in,” Morgan said.

"Air traffic controller/part time flight instructor, Robert Morgan and Interior Designer, Darren Harrison (the passenger no flight experience who lands a plane)."

Sanders explained that Harrison was at the back of the plane when it went out of control and had to climb over rows of seats to get into the cockpit. Sanders also reported that once Harrison pulled the Cessna Grand Caravan out of a nosedive, he realized that the plane’s headsets to call the tower for help were disconnected and had to figure out how to connect them.

After Morgan successfully instructed Harrison to take control of the plane and led him to Palm Beach International Airport for a landing, the plane disappeared from Morgan’s radar, he revealed.

“It must have been no more than 10 seconds. And I kept trying to talk to him,” Morgan recalled. He said he waited anxiously until he heard Harrison suddenly say the plane was “on the ground, what do you want me to do now?”

“And my heart just kind of sank, and I was thinking, ‘Thank God.’”

Morgan added that Harrison was his “best student ever.”
