Courageous 80-Year-Old Woman In Wisconsin Pilots Plane After Husband Dies During Flight

Brave 80-year-old Helen Collins assumed the reins of husband John Collins's small Cessna plane, safely landing the aircraft, after he suffered a fatal heart attack during flight. Aviation employees at Cherryland Airport in Wisconsin guided her on how to land the plane that was low on fuel, as she had no licenses or training. Collins did the best she could and miraculously survived the crash landing, with a cracked rib and injured back.

Model, "Gossip Girl" stylist and blogger, Lauren Scruggs, was released from the hospital today, after accidentally walking into a a plane propeller in December 2011. Scruggs had gone out for a flight in a small plane to view Christmas lights, when tragedy struck after she disembarked.
