Pilot's mental breakdown causes emergency landingby Iva Skoch Jan 30th 2008 @ 12:20PM
Early Wednesday, an Air Canada flight from Toronto to London Heathrow had to make an emergency landing in Ireland because the pilot apparently suffered a mental breakdown midair. BBC reports that he was shouting he wanted to "talk to God" when they were taking him off the plane.
After an 8-hour delay, all passengers eventually made it back to London. The pilot is now "in care". Something tells me his career as a commercial pilot is history...

I wonder what would happen if an armed FFDO had a 'mental breakdown' in mid air... :eek:

That would be "very alarming" to say the least, Steve. Could possibly happen. Originally Posted by MP_Steve
