The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched an investigation after a newly hired American Eagle pilot, Captain Patrick Ford, suffered a “medical emergency” shortly after taking off from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport this past Saturday night.
The pilot of American Eagle (Envoy) Flight 3556, who became incapacitated during the flight, later died at an area hospital. The plane returned to O’Hare International Airport at 7:57 p.m., 37 minutes after departing for Columbus, Ohio, according to FlightRadar24.
Captain Ford was talking to an air traffic controller (ATC) when his voice suddenly stopped.
ENY3556: Tower, Envoy 3556…
The pilot’s co-pilot, Line Check Airman, Captain Brandon Hendrickson came on the radio seconds later and can be heard calmly telling air traffic controllers (ATC) what happened and requesting paramedics.
According to an archive of audio recordings on ATCLive, the co-pilot can be heard informing ATC of the incident:
“We need to return. Captain is incapacitated… he’s knocked out. We’re going to need paramedics.”
ATC then advised pilot Hendrickson, who was supposed to be flying to John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Ohio, to descend and reposition the aircraft for arrival back to O’Hare airport.
Listen to the recording between the pilot and ATC:
Thankfully, Captain Hendrickson was able to take control of the plane and land safely.
Ford was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His cause of death was not immediately released.
The carrier said in a statement:
“Despite heroic efforts by those on board and first responders on the ground, our colleague passed away at the hospital. We’re deeply saddened and are doing all we can to support his family and our colleagues at this time.”
Ric Wilson, Vice President of Flight Operations of the airline, also praised the pilot for landing the plane and taking care of those onboard:
“Sincere thanks to Line Check Airman, Captain Brandon Hendrickson, for his leadership and professionalism in the safe handling of his aircraft, passengers and crew.”
The FAA is now investigating the incident. Aviation sources believe the captain in training died of a heart attack, but officials have not confirmed the cause of death. Fifty-seven passengers and crew were onboard.
‘Vaccine’ Advocates and Damage
American Airlines mandated their pilots to receive the controversial Covid “Vaccine.” The airline boasted of an extremely high vaccination rate among employees. A January 7, 2022, statement from the airline indicated that more than 96% of its employees had either submitted proof of vaccination or requested a religious or medical accommodation from the mandate. Unvaccinated employees had to wear masks, social distance and weekly attest that they are healthy,
RAIR Foundation USA has previously reported on medical complications happening to pilots post mRNA injections. “Stories of medical problems pilots describe are chilling, particularly after several recent near-catastrophes with incapacitated pilots.”
Pilot Greg Pearson shared his shocking story of rapid onset atrial fibrillation after being injected with the experimental Covid “vaccine.” Pearson reveals that his story is more common than leaders are telling us. As a result, many people have questioned whether vaccinated pilots are a flight risk.
In May, an international coalition of aviation and medical professionals sounded the alarm about vaccine damage among pilots. The coalition receives daily messages from pilots with vaccination damage. Most airlines employ pilots who have suffered vaccination damage. The coalition calls on aviation authorities to intervene to tackle this health crisis.
Vlad Tepes
He died on the flight deck! He was declared dead- later at the hospital. Clots will do that to you if you are forced to take the fake vaxxine! He did the left handed death spiral in his seat, and that was that!
ALL mRNA VACCINATED PILOTS WORLDWIDE MUST BE FIRED AND BANNED FROM EVER FLYING ANY AIRCRAFT AGAIN!
And who are you going to get to fly the planes??? Over 60% of people worldwide took the so called “ vaccine “ and there is already a severe Pilot shortage globally.
So what happens when the co-pilot gets the aircraft turned around and then he heart attacks out? Nice going government!!!
Now think about those reinforced doors that only open from inside the cockpit, mandated after the events of 9/11/2001.
Not true
Adios!!!!
I have said many times over that more people would die from the covid “vaccines” than have or will die of covid itself. I think we have passed that point. Fauci should hang.
He got a “poke’ to “keep” his job…
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPID!
Flying anywhere – nationally or internationally – became a nightmare several years ago so I stopped flying altogether, except for a couple of international trips I needed to make. Anywhere on the continent I need or want to go, I drive. I’d rather spend a couple of days on the road than be herded like cattle, which is basically how it is when one flies, these days.
Now, though, with pilots potentially dropping dead mid-flight, I will refuse any & every overseas assignment. Period.
The mandates have killed people and the guilty parties must be prosecuted. Nuremburg Trials 2.0 – for crimes against humanity and conspiracy to commit crimes against humanity, at the very least. The blasted bastards…
Singapore airlines flight made an emergency diversion to Frankfurt en route to Singapore from Heathrow recently….assorts of official excuses but went silent very quickly …..very suspicious
From a former airline crew member…flying used to be pleasant prior to 2001. After the false flag 9/11 flying became hell.. on purpose of course. The elites want to stop all “useless eaters” ,as they call us , from all travel.
Purely and simply, he died from the “vax”.
Time for pitchforks and torches.
It is just starting folks.
Helluva way to fail a check ride. 3-4 a week is moving out of the realm of unexpected. Rest in peace airman Patrick Ford. Watch to see if he is cremated prior to autopsy. We will see if the FAA is as good at finding out root causes as they say.
