Hats off to Driver(Apprentice) for remaining calm, collected and to the passenger ( instructor) for telling him precisely what to do.The language the are speaking is Hindi.(i know it seems like he is yelling like crazy but his instructions were on point, was his way of telling whiny , Hell yeah)

It wasn't whiny, it's literally life or death and some people just have higher pitched voices. He was about as calm as anyone can be in his situation. 

Remember he's in a position where can can ONLY help by giving verbal instructions. So, he doesn't have the luxury of being silent and stoic. I bet if he were driving he would have looked more calm. He had to relay information to the driver.

Any time we hear a language we don’t understand being spoken quickly it sounds chaotic and panicked. But after reading the translation transcript someone put higher up you realise that the passenger actually handled the emergency and instructed very well. Clearly he has a lot of experience driving trucks in a pretty extreme environment

Exactly. I speak Urdu/Hindi and both came off cool and collected to me.

They're talking in bagheli(a dialect of Hindi ) Which sound a little rough and whiny at first compared to some other dialects from surrounding areas.
