A Turkish Airlines pilot collapsed mid-flight, prompting an emergency landing in New York. The incident occurred on flight TK204, which had taken off from Seattle, headed for Istanbul. Airline spokesman Yahya Ustun reported that despite the crew's attempts to administer first aid, the 59-year-old pilot, who had been with the airline since 2007, passed away before landing. He had successfully completed a medical examination in March, which indicated no health issues. The incident raises concerns about the wellbeing of flight crews and the protocols in place for emergencies during flights.
