Flight Attendant Helps Land Plane After Co-Pilot's Mental Breakdown
An Air Canada co-pilot having a mental breakdown had to be forcibly removed from the cockpit, restrained and sedated, and a stewardess with flying experience helped the pilot safely make an emergency landing, an Irish investigation concluded Wednesday
As the aircraft reached the middle of the Atlantic, the report said, the co-pilot began talking in a "rambling and disjointed" manner, took another nap, and then refused to buckle his seat belt or observe other safety procedures when he returned to the cockpit.
The pilot then asked flight attendants to find out if any passenger was a qualified pilot. When none was found, one stewardess admitted she held a current commercial pilot's license but said her license for reading cockpit instruments had expired.
Holy shit. Holy shit. Hooooly shit.
On my list of "things i never want to hear when i'm on a plane", i'm pretty sure "does anyone know how to fly a plane" ranks in my top 3.
Others on that list include "allah akbar" and "i've had it with these mutherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane" (only scary when Samuel L. Jackson says it)
