Pilot dies on commercial flight to Newark
Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:56 AM
NEWARK (WABC) -- The captain on a Continental Airlines flight died as the plane headed from Belgium to Newark Airport.
Authorities say the death occurred as Flight 61 traveled from Brussels to Newark Thursday morning.
There are two first officers on the aircraft, and they are flying the plane.
The flight crew declared an emergency, and the plane will get special treatment from the Newark Airport tower upon arrival.
The Boeing 777 is expected to arrive at Newark Airport at noon.
Medical workers will take custody of the captain's body upon arrival.
The cause of the captain's death will be determined by a medical examiner
Did they really post this while the plane is still in the air with the dead pilot?? I would loved to have heard that on board announcement. I'm sure it began as, "Attention all. This is your First Officer speaking because the Pilot is now dead. Now that I have every one's undivided attention..."

I read that also...my question is what did they do with his body? Did they pull an Airplane and trick everyone to look out the windows while the stewardess carried the body down the aisle. Seriously did they open up that secret compartment they have up there and shove him down with the luggage?
