60-year-old Continental pilot dies in flight
NEWARK, N.J. - The pilot of a Continental Airlines flight from Brussels to Newark died over th 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.
The 60-year-old Newark-based pilot, who worked for Continental for 32 years, is believed to have died of natural causes, said Kelly Cripe, a spokeswoman for the Houston-based airline.
