Plane Lands Safely with Dead Pilot

Nov 22nd, 2004 | By Jared Blank

A Garuda Indonesia 737 landed safely in Pontianak, Indonesia, after its pilot collapsed and died during the flight.  The co-pilot took over and returned the plane, which was on its way to Jakarta, back to Pontianak without incident.  Well, without further incident, as the pilot dropping dead was an incident.
