Fellow Substack author Dr. Kevin Stillwagon just reported a close shave with catastrophe on American Airlines flight 755 from Paris to Philadelphia on November 29, 2023. As Dr. Stillwagon described the situation:
The First Officer who was the flying pilot on American Airlines flight 755 from Paris to Philadelphia on November 29th, had a seizure that stiffened his legs and back, jamming his feet under the rudder pedals on short final approach. The captain immediately took over flying duties and there was no loss of aircraft control. The relief pilot who was required to be on the flight deck during landing was able to remove the unconscious pilot from the seat with the help of the purser. The relief pilot occupied the seat for a normal landing and taxi to the gate.
Dr. Stillwagon substantiated his report with an audio recording of the captain speaking with Air Traffic Control about the medical emergency, which you can listen to on his post.
As reported by fellow Substack author, Dr. William Makis, this incident was the fourth pilot incapacitation in two weeks.

In my effort to understand what is going on with such pilot incapacitations, I spoke with Australian veteran pilot Shane Murdock, who recently published a fascinating paper titled: Impending Disaster in the Global Aviation Industry, which I highly recommend reading.
Captain Murdock also supplied with me with a recent whistleblower report about COVID-19 vaccine adverse events in New Zealand. The whistleblower’s story is so shocking—and the scale of the crime he claims has been perpetrated so huge—that I feel obliged to make sure his assertions can be independently validated before I share them. Stay tuned for a later post on this rapidly developing story.
