An American Airlines captain died at the controls of his plane despite the desperate efforts of a flight attendant with medical training to revive him.
The drama began on flight 550 from Phoenix to Boston this morning when the captain was taken ill at the controls. In a recording, the first officer is heard radioing ground control explaining that the captain has become “incapacitated”.
An air stewardess who used to work as a nurse fought to save his life.
The plane, which was carrying 146 passengers and five crew, was diverted to Syracuse, New York where the co-pilot landed the plane safely.
An audio recording from Air Traffic Control reveals the moment the first officer radios in the emergency.
The pilot can be heard saying: “Medical emergency, captain is incapacitated, request handling for runway 108.” The Airbus A320 is believed to have continued its journey to Boston Logan International Airport after the emergency was dealt with.
Louise Anderson, from Boston, tweeted: “The pilot died on our redeye back to Boston (leading to 4h in Syracuse). life is short. do what you love before it’s too late.”
A spokeswoman for the airline said the firm was “incredibly saddened” and focusing on the pilot’s family and colleagues.
