--- Quote from: NiHaoMike on July 14, 2020, 10:32:13 pm ---Heart attacks as well. There's a documentary of an airline pilot dying from that shortly after takeoff, what saved everyone else on the plane was that one of the passengers had some flight knowledge and was able to talk to ATC in order to make an emergency landing. Yes, exactly the scenario covered in a Mythbusters episode... --- End quote --- Must have been a *very* small airliner to have only one pilot. The only commercial aircraft like that I'm aware of are things like single engine seaplanes. Certainly any sort of jet airliner will have a cockpit crew of at least two. |

It can strike at a very young age - I know one family that lost a youngster of only 18 to it. :( |

It's not the sort of thing you'd take a scheduled passenger flight between major airports on. |
