Michael Campbell, at 22 years old is the youngest helicopter tour pilot in New York City.\u00a0 Fresh out of training, he knew exactly what to do when things went wrong.<\/p>\n

He was 12 minutes into a 25 minute tour he was giving to four Swedish passengers when the helicopter engine suddenly failed.\u00a0 Campbell went straight into hero mode.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou only have a second to make the right decision. It\u2019s sink or swim,\u2019\u2019 said Campbell as he recalls the previous days events.<\/p>\n

Miraculously within 30 seconds he was able to keep the helicopter level, deploy the floats, and make a safe landing in the Hudson River without a single injury!<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone was looking out for me,\u2019\u2019 Campbell said. \u201cI said a little prayer that everything would turn out OK, and I\u2019m just really glad it worked out and everyone walked away without any harm.”<\/p>\n

Campbell was ready to come into work the next day, but his boss told him to take the day off \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

And that’s what’s good,<\/p>\n
