💉 The New York Post ran another curious story yesterday headlined, Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to shut off engines mid-flight had a ‘mental breakdown’: passenger. This one is admittedly pretty strange.
Off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot Joseph Emerson, 44, was “riding along” in the cockpit’s jump seat on a flight from Everette to San Fransisco on Sunday, cruising at around 35,000 feet, when he suddenly and unexpectedly had some kind of inexplicable “mental breakdown” and leapt for the controls, apparently trying to shut down the engines in mid-flight.
Engines play an important role in safely completing most types of air travel.
In what must have been several very exciting moments in the cockpit, the captain and first officer wrestled with Joe and finally subdued him, then made an emergency landing in Portland, Oregon, where the flight crew finally told the 83 shocked passengers what had happened.
Joe is a married father of two who lives in San Fransisco. He was headed home. When they heard, Joe’s neighbors were shocked and appalled at the news. Joe’s next-door neighbor Karen Yee told the Daily Mail, “It is just really shocking, disturbing news.” She added that “They are excellent neighbors. He is a fantastic father. He plays with the kids all the time. He’s very friendly. He’s just a great guy.”
But now Joe is sitting in jail, charged with a whole bunch of counts of attempted murder, reckless endangerment, and special airplane crimes. Meanwhile, nobody has explained anything or even commented on the fact that nobody has explained anything. It’s a mystery.
It’s not like nobody’s asked the question, though:
Air Canada Pilot Maurice Patenaude
It is with profound sadness that we announce the death of Maurice Patenaude, at the age of 54, on September 26, 2023.
An Air Canada captain, he flew his last flight in December 2022 following a diagnosis of terminal renal cell carcinoma. He fought this dreadful illness valiantly and tenaciously, characteristic of his indomitable spirit. ...

Between 2021 and 2022, the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) ‘unfit to fly’ numbers showed a 75 per cent increase, while the RAF said that 27 per cent of their pilots were medically downgraded. All pilots need to demonstrate a less than one per cent chance of developing serious illness to pass their annual medical, which makes these numbers unusual.
Recent freedom of information (FOI) requests to the CAA and the RAF show an alarming increase in the number of commercial and armed forces pilots registered unfit to fly post the vaccination rollout.
Here are the CAA’s numbers from the last five years of all medically grounded commercial and private pilots:
· 2018 – 1,550 – normal year
· 2019 – 1,663 – first covid cases reported in December 2019
· 2020 – 851 – air travel restricted because of lockdowns, covid infections at their worst, no vaccine until December
· 2021 – 1,594 – vaccine widely available from January and mandated for US and Australian pilots in November but not for British, the majority of whom would have taken the vaccine or faced restrictions flying to countries with vaccine mandates
· 2022 – 2,784 – post vaccination, huge increase in failed medicals – 75 per cent.
Pilot of Packed Passenger Jet Becomes ‘Incapacitated,’ Plane Makes Emergency Landing
The Jet2 Boeing 737-800, registration G-GDFP, was performing flight LS-1711 from Manchester, England to Dalaman, Turkey with 161 passengers and 6 crew on board.
The plane was enroute at FL370 about 80nm south-southwest of Budapest, Hungary when the crew put out an emergency call.
The co-pilot then diverted the aircraft to Budapest after the pilot reportedly became incapacitated.
The aircraft turned north toward Budapest and subsequently landed safely on the runway.
The jet was taxied to the gate where medical services were awaiting the aircraft.
CAPTAIN Shane Murdock says the air industry is ‘poised on the precipice of disaster’. A pilot for more than 40 years and a qualified air accident investigator, he has found official data that back up his claim of impending global catastrophe. He adds: ‘When correlated, the data indicate there is an enormous problem that is having, and will have, a significant impact on aviation safety worldwide. There is enough evidence to be sending out red flags.’
There have been many tragedies this year. Phil Thomas, a young graduate of the Cadiz, Spain, flight training academy, fell ill and died suddenly in April. There were five pilot incapacitations in March including a British Airways pilot who collapsed and died in Cairo, Egypt not long before he was due to fly.
Pilots are super-fit, so why are so many dying suddenly or collapsing? Cpt Murdock concludes they are suffering severe adverse reactions to the Covid-19 vaccinations, which has myocarditis (heart inflammation), brain fog, insomnia, blood clots and anaphylaxis as side effects.
He thinks some pilots are ticking timebombs and claims many are not declaring ill-health. He said: ‘They are not reporting brain fog, heart flutters and dizzy spells because they don’t want to lose their jobs.’
"Between 2018, and 2019, the mayday average was 29.1 per cent of all distress calls. During 2022, mayday calls increased by 272 per cent. In the first three months of 2023, the increase was 386 per cent. The graph shows there was an instant, steep increase when the vaccines were mandated to pilots."
They are not reporting brain fog, heart flutters and dizzy spells because they don’t want to lose their jobs.’
Patrick says
They are not reporting brain fog, heart flutters and dizzy spells because they don’t want to lose their jobs.’
Don't they submit to regular physical, mental and health tests? How could they hide health issues? Sounds a little fake to me.
💉 Since the end of September, at least eight commercial airline pilots were either incapacitated in the air or died.
November 26th, 2023. One of two pilots on Ryanair Flight FR-3472 from London to Rzeszow, Poland became “incapacitated.” You’ll see that “incapacitated” is the latest euphemism. The plane was diverted to Krakow and landed safely. The only news sources, translated from Polish, described the pilot as being “weakened” and having “malaise,” but also requiring “urgent medical care.” So.
November 20th, 2023. Around 3 hours into the flight, a pilot became “incapacitated” — even the National Post used skeptical scare quotes around “incapacitated” — on Air Transat Flight TS-186 from Toronto to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The “incapacitated” pilot was replaced by one of the 299 passengers, who fortunately was a Transat-qualified pilot.
November 16th, 2023. Air India Pilot Captain Himanil Kumar, 37, had a sudden, unexpected, and fatal heart attack at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport while he was taking a training session. He was rushed to a hospital at the airport, but died despite heroic efforts to revive him. An airline official said Kumar was declared fit in his August medicals. “All his past medical assessments were fine with no detected underlying medical conditions,” the official added. Baffling.
October 30th, 2023. On Jet2 Flight LS-1711 from Manchester to Dalaman, Turkey, the first officer also “became incapacitated,” and following procedure, the other pilot diverted to Budapest and landed safely. This time. No further information was available on the nature of the pilot’s “incapacitation,” which as noted appears to be the newest euphemism for “medical emergency,” which was the prior euphemism for “stroke” or “heart attack.”
October 18th, 2023. Austrian Airlines Pilot and member of Dorfgastein mountain rescue team Christian Zimmerebner, 43, died suddenly after a brief "serious illness.” That’s it. That’s all we know.
September 24th, 2023. On Austrian Airlines Flight OS-188 from Stuttgart to Vienna, the captain reported feeling “unwell,” then became “incapacitated,” forcing the first officer to take over. Later during the descent, the pilot recovered and was able to resume his duties. That’s all we get.
September 23rd, 2023. Alaska Airlines Pilot Captain Eric McRae, 37, died suddenly and unexpectedly in his hotel room during a layover. He was scheduled to fly that morning. Eric left his wife — an Alaskan flight attendant — and two small children (a toddler and a newborn). Eric is only the latest pilot to die in his sleep on a layover.
September 22nd, 2023. Last but not least, somewhere over Canada during Delta’s Flight DL-291 from Paris to Los Angeles, the pilot became “medically incapacitated,” was evacuated to the cabin for emergency care, while a standby pilot took over. The plane diverted to Minneapolis, landing safely, and the unidentified pilot was rushed to the hospital. Since then we have no further information about him or his condition.
2-minute audio clip here of INCAPACITATED pilot WHILE flying plane due to the COVID mRNA technology vaccine; American Airlines flight 755 from Paris to Philadelphia on November 29th, 2023
‘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. ...
We know seizures after these shots happen. More than 6,000 have been reported in VAERS. I don’t know if the pilot who had the seizure on this flight had a covid shot or not, but I want to give you possible reasons of how an mRNA shot can result in seizures. Seizures like these are an indication that something has gone wrong in the brain tissue. It can be inflammation, a tumor, a vascular problem, or autoimmunity. ...
It’s time for everyone, including pilots, to refuse all mRNA shots. Moderna has more in the pipeline that will target other diseases like Nipah, RSV, and influenza. These mRNA shots will induce your body to make bioactive proteins that will hurt you. Don’t do this to yourself or your children.
They just need redundancy. Eight pilates per flight. At least one should survive by odds. One can take over while the other is having a stroke, heart attack or seizures.
💉 And … another one! Air Live ran a now-familiar story this week headlined, “A Ryanair flight from UK made emergency landing after the pilot reportedly fell ill.” This makes the fifth pilot medical emergency story in the last three weeks, including the second one on Ryanair. The five include pilots: who ‘fell ill,’ two who ‘became incapacitated,’ one who died from cardiac arrest at the airport, and one who had a seizure and collapsed in the cockpit.
It’s totally normal. There’s nothing to see here. Everything is fine.
and one who had a seizure and collapsed in the cockpit.
🚀 Look out below! Fox News ran an ironically-suggestive story yesterday headlined, “US F-16 crashes into Yellow Sea following in-flight emergency; pilot rescued after ejecting safely.” The unidentified pilot is said to be fine. The plane is a write-off.
The fabulously-expensive high-tech fighter jet wasn’t in a dogfight. It wasn’t completing a dangerous training mission. The Russians didn’t harry it with a drone. It was just a routine flight, combined with a mysterious, undisclosed “in-flight emergency,” whatever that could be. It was an emergency, and you have no evidence that it had anything to do with the experimental shots.
Anyway, the pilot ejected, or was ejected, and the pilotless, hundred-million-dollar jet fighter crashed into the ocean and sank below the waves. Splash! Glug, glug, glug.
They were stingy with any details, but it sounds remarkably similar to that F-35 single-jet ejection and crash in South Carolina a few months ago. Hopefully, this latest ‘little lost plane’ story isn’t some kind of larger metaphor for the U.S.’s readiness to handle three or more fronts in the emerging World War.
Enjoy this headline from two-weeks ago, published in the Dayton News:
Everything is going fine. You have no evidence that the military is flying diverse but poorly-trained pilots. Just remember that.

Pentagon data shows heart failure spiked nearly 1,000% among pilots in 2022: whistleblower
Lieutenant Ted Macie says he found major spikes in several heart-related ailments over the previous five-year average among pilots, including heart failure (973%) and cardiomyopathy (152%).
Sat Dec 2, 2023 - 1:36 pm EST
(LifeSiteNews) — New data from the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) provides further evidence that the COVID-19 shots carry significant health risks, including multiple heart issues.
Lieutenant Ted Macie is an active-duty officer with the U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps who serves as a health administrator and medical recruiter. His wife Mara Macie is running for Congress in Florida’s Fifth District. Both have been speaking out against the Pentagon’s COVID jab mandate and its treatment of service members who objected.
In a video uploaded to social media, Lt. Macie cited a July letter from U.S. Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel & Readiness Gilbert Cisneros Jr. acknowledging the authenticity of previously exposed data from the Pentagon’s Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED), which shows that 2021 saw drastic spikes in a variety of diagnoses for serious medical issues over the previous five-year average, including hypertension (2,181%), neurological disorders (1,048%), multiple sclerosis (680%), Guillain-Barre syndrome (551%), breast cancer, (487%), female infertility (472%), pulmonary embolism (468%), migraines (452%), ovarian dysfunction (437%), testicular cancer (369%), and tachycardia (302%).

It is not unusual for a business jet to have a system that allows a mobile phone to work through wifi. Standard in newer Citations.

Vaccine illness is "maybe" less than 1% of the problem.
Link? Or did you just make that up?
Might be zero percent. https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck
What is that going to do for anyone? That's not snark.
So you made it up?
I don't know either, but you should have some facts to back your statistics. I also doubt that the vax is the only reason for flight delays, but I am suspicious of any websites that include "fact check" in their url.
"The Max was literally pilots that didn't understand the system and how to override it. Likely a language issue considering the locations."
Packed Japan Airlines Passenger Plane Bursts into Flames on Tokyo Airport Runway
Local media reported that a thick plume of black smoke rose over an airport runway in Japan on Tuesday as the Japan Airlines jet was completely engulfed in flames.
Live footage on public broadcaster NHK showed the passenger plane on the runway with flames coming out of its windows.
Shortly after, the plane was entirely consumed.
A Japan Airlines spokesperson said more than 300 passengers were on board when the aircraft initially caught fire.
NHK reported all 379 passengers and crew ultimately escaped from the plane.
The fire broke out after the plane hit another aircraft after landing, local news reports said.
If Pharma made airplanes there would be airplane crashes every single day and Pharma would blame the people who never fly.
Sudden Aviation Death Syndrome (SADS) would be the label used to describe those killed in the daily airplane crashes which would always be considered a coincidence.
The CDC would strongly recommend that all children fly 90 times before their 18th birthday and blue states would require proof of said flights to attend school; even if you have been in a previous crash there would be no exemptions to the mandated 90 flights.
Anderson Cooper would vilify anyone who took fewer than five flights a year.
The National Transportation Safety Board would assure us that planes have always crashed every day — it was just better awareness that made people think things had gotten worse — while doing absolutely nothing to improve airline safety.
Academics would conduct elaborate studies on “overcoming airplane crash hesitancy.”
The mainstream media would feature endless commercials for medications to treat burns and lost limbs from airplane crashes, complete with singing and dancing spokespeople who are always smiling.
Pharma would make record earnings every year because more crashes mean they need to make more planes!
Wall Street would applaud their visionary business model.
Two planes collided on a runway in Japan, in the second airport crash in the country within weeks.
A Korean Air Lines plane came into contact with a Cathay Pacific Airways aircraft at New Chitose Airport on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido on Tuesday, a Korean Air official said.
FAA, airline industry must demand and mandate that all pilots before they enter cockpit, do D-DIMER tests for clots, high-sensitivity troponin for heart damages, these tests, chest EKGs, chest MRIs with gadolinum contrast to rule out myocarditis or heart damage from the Malone, Bourla, Bancel shots…until pilots are cleared, no plane should be allowed to fly, we are playing with fire. reaction times, alertness, everything now is phucked up due to Malone and Sahin and Weissman’s work…they fucked the world…this mRNA technology and vaccine…fucked us good.
we do not anymore need worry as much for muslim jihadists blowing up planes, no, no highjacking, the planes will crash before that due to vaccines, Malone and Bourla mRNA technology gene based mRNA vaccines.
Lufthansa Airbus A321 Diverts To Madrid After Pilot Falls Sick
The aircraft reported the first officer had fallen ill 30 nautical miles south of Madrid.
A United States Navy medic who blew the whistle on an explosive report showing a massive increase in heart issues among military pilots has been blocked by the Department of Defense (DOD) from accessing his work computer.
Navy Medical Service Corps Lt. Ted Macie shared shocking information about the surge in heart failure among military personnel.
Macie claimed that members of the U.S. military have experienced massive increases in heart-related issues, presenting Defense Department data showing the following:
937% increase in heart failure
152% increase in cardiomyopathy
69% increase in ischemic heart disease
36% increase in hypertensive disease
36% increase in hypertensive disease
63% increase in other forms of heart disease
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a significant threat to pilots and is a leading cause of death worldwide, jeopardizing flight safety and causing devastating consequences. This review examines the trends in SCD among pilots from a global perspective, analyzing evidence from 2011 to 2023, with a focus on its growing impact as a global crisis and recent findings pointing to a potential rise in incidence, particularly after 2019. ...
Recent studies suggest a potential increase in SCD incidence among pilots following the COVID-19 pandemic.
