David Williams, 47 (pictured left), was praised for carrying out
a 'textbook' landing of the Boeing 747 (bottom and top right) after it
developed a technical fault shortly after take-off. The aircraft was
bound for Las Vegas but was forced to return to London where Mr
Williams, who lives near Horsham, Sussex, carried out an impressive
emergency touch-down on broken landing gear. In the video which emerged
afterwards,
the calm pilot was heard ordering passengers to brace for landing. The terrified passengers then spontaneously cheered and applauded in praise of the pilot after he landed the jumbo jet without a hitch. Afterwards, passengers took to Twitter to thank the pilot, calling him 'incredibly skillful. Today, the modest father-of-three said: 'I was just doing my job and any one of our pilots would have taken the same actions.'
