AUDIO: PLANE CAPTAIN DIES MID-FLIGHT
The co-pilot of an Egyptian jet had to go on the PA mid-flight to announce to the passengers that the captain of the aircraft had died. The copilot of the Nesma Airlines flight from Cairo, Egypt to Taif, Saudi Arabia told passengers the plane would be diverted to the Saudi city of Jeddah as a result. They landed safely about 30 minutes later. Egyptian media reported that the captain, Hassan Youssef Adas, suffered a medical emergency in-flight and died shortly afterwards.
* He had the fish.
* What’s weird is he died from a lion attack.
* Wow – Nearer My God to Thee!
* Well, if you’re the co-pilot, that’s one way to get an instant promotion.
CLIP: The actual clip of the co-pilot’s announcement is in Arabic, and there is no reaction from the passengers. So, we bring you this classic from Airplane: “Does anybody know how to fly a plane?”
