Could you land a plane in an emergency?
Manage episode 452051490 series 3618694
Do you think you’d be able to successfully land a plane, with no prior pilot experience and relying only on air traffic control assistance? A YouGov survey found 13% of people are “very confident” that they could. In this episode, we explore why some people (like Manny) are prone to overconfidence, with help from social psychologist and professor David Dunning.
Outro song is "Nothing Ever Happens" by Darryl Rahn
