    Really sad he died before they could land. And he had a health exam (I’m guessing this is basically a physical) and was fine in August. How scary that must have been for the passengers and crew.

    That’s quite sad, RIP.

    Oh my god that must have been terrifying. That’s why you got two pilots though

  4. and some people want to go with single pilot operation of commercial airlines. everyone on board that aircraft are alive today because of two people on the flightdeck. say no to single pilot operation!

  5. Such a sad story. What a tribute to him and to the co-pilot that the plane was able to safely land.

    Does anyone know what happens if both pilots die? Is there a way to control the plane from the ground? Or is it going to crash in such a case?

  7. Such a sad story, how to even break the news to the family. Must have been heartbreaking for the crew.
