A United Airlines flight made an
emergency landing in Boise, Idaho after its
pilot suffered a mid-air heart attack from
which he later died, an Airline spokesperson
said on Friday. United flight 1603 was en-route from Houston,
Texas to Seattle, Washington when the incident
occurred. The Boeing 737 landed safely in Boise where
the pilot was taken to hospital. The plane, which was carrying 167 passengers
and crew, continued to its scheduled
destination several hours later, after a
replacement pilot was found. “I am sad to confirm that our co-worker passed
away last night. Our thoughts are with his
family at this time,” United representative
Christen David said in an email on Friday. (NAN)
