Pilot dies during transatlantic flight

A pilot died while flying from Brussels to Newark.

The 247 passengers onboard Flight 61 weren’t told about the pilot’s death while they were in the air.

During the flight, an announcement was made asking if any doctors were aboard and several passengers approached the cockpit, including one doctor who told The Associated Press the pilot appeared to have suffered a heart attack.

It looks like he may have suffered a heart attack. The doctor who saw him said there was "no chance at all" of saving him.
