A Turkish Airlines pilot died after collapsing mid-flight, forcing the Turkish national carrier to make an emergency landing in New York, the airline said Wednesday. The incident occurred after the plane took off from Seattle on Tuesday evening, airline spokesman Yahya Ustun wrote on social media.
“I’m always scared of flying. And my friend says, ‘Don’t worry, you’re not going anywhere until it’s your time.’ And I say, ‘But what if it’s the pilot’s time?’”
