If anyone needs a palate cleanser after listening to a depressing ATC recording, I can recommend this heartwarming first time solo flying teenager dealing with her landing gear coming off after takeoff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ5q7Iv5wTM

The amount of times i've wtched this video needing an excuse to feel hype is greater than 10.

Her personal instructor finally arriving ("Maggie it's john") and Maggie starting to normalize the situation/making professonal raido calls really show the power of humanity working through struggle.

Gods, her "OK" at 30seconds is fucking heart wrenching.

The absolute terror she must have felt. All she could probably think of was that she was not going to survive that flight.

Though it sounds like she successfully landed it without any injury.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Probably the most wholesome, scary, heartening thing I've seen this year.

I’ve watched this countless times and I’ll watch it countless times more.
