    Air Canada Pilot Breaks Down; Plane Diverts

    Air Canada from Toronto to London; F/O had a nervous breakdown, had to be restrained, and the plane diverted to Shannon, Ireland.

    It actually saddens me to hear someone going through that.

    Scary situation. It sucks for the co-pilot, but it's great there was no further incident.

    He was demanding to "speak to God" and had to be shackled to a seat, all in view of the passengers. :shock:

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    Heard about this on the radio. Scary stuff indeed, though the pilot handled it pretty well, according to the report.
