Did the pilot have the fish for
dinner?The pilot of a Continental Airlines flight from Brussels to Newark died over the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, but the jet landed safely with two co-pilots at the controls. The 247 passengers aboard Flight 61 weren't told of the pilot's death and flight attendants continued serving snacks, though the crew did ask for the help of any doctors aboard.
Several passengers approached the cockpit, including one doctor who told The Associated Press the pilot appeared to have suffered a heart attack.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffin' glue!
Just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you:
