NASA released information today concerning air safety. NASA said in March of 2004, a red eye flight to Denver ran into a serious problem. The two pilots of this flight fell asleep while the plane was in flight.
Frantic calls from the Denver’s air tower awoke the pilots. The Denver air tower’s frantic messages told the pilots that their plane was approaching the runway at twice the speed that was needed to land the plane safely.
A major disaster was avoided and the plane did land safely.
