Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Kim. Today is Wednesday, September 4th, 2019.

And we begin with a remarkable story of calm in the midst of chaos.

A student pilot on his very first lesson in a Cessna had to land the plane himself after his instructor passed out mid-flight.

Australian Max Sylvester says he was about an hour airborne when he realized he was on his own.

Max radioed a May day and the first question that came back had he ever landed a plane before.

Max said no but trying to light the situation

added that his instructor did say he was the best student he'd ever had. It took an

hour for the tower to talk him in but the rookie made what witnesses say was a textbook landing.

The owner of the flight school says he's never seen anything like it, and better still, the

instructor is in stable condition and is expected to make a full recovery.

Dorian made the right turn Floridians were hoping for.

Now it appears that the coastline will be spared the worst of its wrath as it heads north and

east instead of west.

This morning though it remains a strong hurricane with winds hovering around a hundred miles

per hour on a path that could take it across the outer banks of

North Carolina before it spins back out over the Atlantic. At its peak

Dorian-packed sustained winds of 185 miles per hour and staggering gust to 225 miles per hour as

it raked the Bahamas and cemented its place as the second most powerful Atlantic storm in modern history. Only Hurricane

Allen in 1980 was stronger. Government officials in the Bahamas say it will take

weeks to total Dorian's damage, but initial surveys

suggest it destroyed more than 13,000 properties, or roughly 45% of all the

homes on Abaco Island and Grand Bahama.
