An American Airlines flight from Phoenix to
Boston was forced to make an emergency
landing in Syracuse, New York after the pilot
suddenly died mid-flight, though the exact
nature of the pilot's illness has not been
confirmed. The pilot, whose name and age is
currently being withheld, was reportedly treated
in the air by a flight attendant with a nursing
background but all such efforts ultimately
proved unsuccessful.
American Airlines says they are "incredibly
saddened" by the pilot's passing and are
currently focusing on "taking are of the family
members and crew," according to ABC News.
Cockpit recordings reveal at least one member
crew confirming that the captain was
"incapacitated," before eventually stating that
he has become "unresponsive [and is] not
breathing."
