The Continental Airlines pilot died on a trans-Atlantic flight from Brussels to Newark. The fellow crew members had initially thought he fell asleep. Craig Lenell, 60, had no known heart condition and underwent twice-a-year physicals. Lenell died of a suspected heart attack midway through Continental Airlines Flight 61 on Thursday. Pilots must pass an extensive physical every six months to remain qualified to fly. The exam includes an electrocardiogram, blood pressure check and a vision test. Two co-pilots took over the controls. Amazingly, the Passengers didn't know anything until they landed. I remember a similar incident when an employee was found dead after 3 days in office. Working too hard!
