MSNBC: A CAL captain just died in flight. Plane making an emergency landing

[Erlanger]

Fox News is going to cover the landing "live". I'm sure other news organizations will be too. Is this necessary?

61. This never would have happened if he had retired when he was supposed to... (Yes. I realize this is callous, but it had to be said as the issue was brought up ad nauseum during the Age 60 fight. They said it would never happen... Condolences to his family.)

Fox News reported that ALL air traffic inbound to the NY/NJ area will be diverted/sent "FAR, FAR away" so that this plane, with its "backup crew" will not "risk running into another aircraft".

Proud to be an F/O on a day like this. "Am I your pilot? Uh no ma'am. I just sit up there to make sure the other guy isn't dead or dying. Should be a smooth ride out to Denver today."

Oh boy. Don't look now but they're probably getting more news off twitter. Idiots

Your are correct, CNN is talking about twitters that they are getting.

 

[Carl_Spackler]

and how can CO say he died from natural causes?

Condolences to his family. Sad news indeed.

News is kinda building a mountain out of a mole hill on this. RIP to the Captain
