“Hold my vodka.”
Wow, just the amount of stupidity needed is mind blowing.
pilots are trained to land blind. The mistake was that that co-pilot was blinded also in this situation.
The child was allowed to take the controls, which is common practice when training anyone who doesn’t know how to fly. Again, the mistake wasn’t letting them take the controls, the mistake was made by the pilot who should have had his hands lightly touching the controls to ensure nothing unusual happened.

Blind drunk.
