In a freak near-disaster incident, two Ethiopian pilots fell into a deep sleep while flying above the clouds.
In detail, two Ethiopian Airlines pilots fell asleep during a flight from Khartoum to Addis Ababa, as the plane was flying at an altitude of 37,000 feet and was approaching Addis Ababa airport when neither the pilot nor his co-pilot heard the tower warning. Care did not respond.
The control tower continued its attempts to communicate with the pilot, but all these attempts were unsuccessful, but the autopilot system saved the plane and its passengers from a disaster.
Two pilots woke up in the final moments before the plane crashed on the runway of the Ethiopian capital’s airport after an alarm was sounded by the autopilot system, landing safely 25 minutes late.
