Airline Pilot Dies In Cockpit While Flying Plane (1311 hits)


American Airlines Captain Suddenly Fell Ill at the Wheel. What Happened Next Is Heart-Wrenching BY LAWRENCE BONK (1 DAY AGO) SHARETWEETEMAIL Passengers on American Airlines flight 550, en-route from Phoenix to Boston, experienced the shock of a lifetime when their captain became seriously ill while flying the plane. REPORT THIS AD Despite the best efforts of the crew, including a stewardess who used to be a nurse, the captain died while flying the bulky jet. There is audio of a conversation between the plane’s co-pilot and members of air traffic control. The conversation is harrowing: “Medical Emergency, pilot is incapacitated. Request handling for runway 108.” The co-pilot managed to land the plane, taking over for the recently deceased captain and saving the lives of all 147 passengers. One passenger of the flight took to Twitter to express her emotions on the matter. American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein spoke to USA Today about the incident: “We are incredibly saddened by this event, and we are focused on caring for our pilot’s family and colleagues,” he said. This story is still developing and the cause of the captain’s death is unknown. He was 57 years old. https://www.ijreview.com/2015/10/437838-american-airlines-captain-falls-ill-wheel-happened-next-heartbreaking/?utm_source=email&utm_campaign=afternoon-newsletter&utm_medium=owned
