Passenger Lands Plane After Pilot Dies

Doug White, who is 56 years-old has logged close to 150 hours on a single-engine Cessna 172. However, his flight with his wife and two daughters turned into a life threatening situation when the pilot, Joe Cabuk, has died while in the middle of flying a King Air. With the help of air traffic controllers, Doug was able to successfully land the King Air at Fort Myers, Florida.

Philip Stein Watch Initial Review


Here’s a photo that closely resembles the watch I have, my camera took crappy photos of it so I couldn’t use my actual watch.

This is my second Swiss Made watch that I own, a Philip Stein watch. I decided to go with this watch instead of a Breitling or a Longines was because of a watch buying PowerPoint that the cruise setup with some experts that are “well known” in the field that they did and recommended stores that the ship would insure purchases from those stores. This watch uses a Multiple Frequency Technology (MFT) chips that succeeds the Teslar Chip. Things that you can expect from the watch are as follows:

• Deeper, more restful night sleep.
• More calm and less tension in normally stressful situations.
• Improved concentration and ability to focus at work.
• Increased levels of energy.
• An over-all improvement in well-being.


I’ve only have the watch since April 4th, and what I can say about my Philip Stein watch is that it so far works as advertised. I now wake up more restful, note that I sleep close to six hours on school nights (from midnight till quarter to six in the morning). I do feel more concentrated and focused when I am at school, but I did dosed off when my teacher kept lecturing on about the Cold War. Compared to my sleeping in class in the past, I was able to recover quickly from the spacing out. On the cruise ship, I noticed that I was full of energy than I was before when I first stepped on the ship. When I notice more perks about this watch I will report about it on a future post.

Note that I am no Oprah Winfrey fan and I haven’t seen her on television since Barack Obama won the presidential election. The whole she crying on some random stranger’s shoulder was also the other time I have seen her on television. A good warning to anyone interested in Philip Stein watches, DO NOT BUY A REPLICA!!! Buying a replica will defeat the purpose of having the Multiple Frequency chips and will not benefit you in anyway. Buy from an authorized dealer and if they are discounting it more than 15%, then It maybe a knockoff. That is because Philip Stein is a new watch brand and is selling well, since Oprah advertises it on her show.

My first Swiss Made watch was an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer. Yes, like a James Bond fan, I liked Pierce Brosnan as Bond. I grew up with him as Bond as a kid and I loved it, till this date my favorite Bond game is Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64.

I love this watch! It's being serviced right now so I don't have the watch on me right now.

I'm Back

Apologies for the lack of posts for the past six days, I was away on a Spring Break cruise. It was a four day, five night trip to Key West, Florida to Cozumel, Mexico that departed from Miami on a Carnival cruise ship. I came back before noon but I am still in cruise ship mode, so I will resume posts tomorrow.

Preview of tomorrow’s post will be an initial review and impressions of a Philip Stein watch that I purchased in Cozumel.
