An Air Canada flight made an emergency landing in Ireland after the pilot suffered a mental breakdown mid-flight. A passenger said the pilot was carried from the plane shouting and swearing, saying he wanted to talk "to God".
"At no time were the safety of the passengers or crew in question," said an Air Canada spokesman. "The flight was met by medical personnel and the individual is now in care."
One of the passengers said he saw the co-pilot being carried into the cabin in restraints. "He was very, very distraught. He was yelling loudly at times," he told the press. Passengers were put up in hotels while another crew was found. They eventually arrived in London eight hours late.
