Ryanair pilot faints just before landing as plane faces fiery thunderstorms
The passengers of the flight had a particularly harrowing day: first, their plane was diverted due to bad weather and secondly one of the pilots passed out in the cockpit!
A plane flying from London Stansted to Palermo in Italy had to be diverted to Trapani, 67 miles away after thunderstorms caused significant turbulence in the area. As the plane approached the airport last Thursday evening, the captain of the flight was forced to land the aircraft himself after his co-pilot passed out! In a conversation with The Sun, a source claimed that the first officer was “not able to function” and was subsequently rushed to the hospital after being examined by the medical staff.
