Two pilots of a passenger airplane fell asleep mid flight- but miraculously landed their plane without anyone suffering injuries.
Flight ET343 was travelling from Khartoum to Addis Ababa on August 15 when the incident happened at 37,000 ft.
The pilots were meant to begin their descent to Addis Ababa Bole Airport.
According to the Aviation Herald, Air Traffic Control attempted to contact the pilots but were unsuccessful.
Finally, the crew awoke, after the aircraft's autopilot disconnected and sounded an alarm.
The pilots managed to land the plane safely and it stayed on the tarmac for around two-and-a-half hours before it left for its next flight.
Data confirms the incident, which shows that the aircraft had overflown the runway and managed to make another approach when the pilots awoke.
