210 pax? Must have been a 767.
Same thing happened a few years ago, can't remember the airline, but the captian was a Bulgarian guy and he died on take off.
Its hard enough when a passenger dies on a flight, but for a pilot, that is harsh.

Wasn't there a plane crash that happened back in either the 1980s or 70s were the pilot had some kind of medical condition or the pilot went crazy and , and the co- pilot and the pilot got in a argument, and the pilot died and the plane crashed ?
It sounds like this pilot either had a heart attack or stroke.
I did ask someone one time, what happens in the event a pilot gets diarrhea on take off and climb out ? does the co pilot take over some the pilot can go to the bathroom ? or ... well,, you know.
I know this might be a stupid question, but, are both the pilot and co pilot trained to fly the plane alone in case of something like this happens ?
