Yesterday I reported about a Delta plane from Puerto Vallarta that had a near miss in LA. Today, the media is reporting about a Continental flight coming from Puerto Vallarta in which the pilot died during the flight, apparently of a heart attack.

Passengers were first given a PA announcement asking if there was a doctor on board. A few minutes later this was followed up with an announcement asking if there was a pilot on board!

The co-pilot diverted the plane to McAllen, TX and landed the plane without incident.

Straight to the sources: KGBT Channel 4: Plane Diverted To Valley After Pilot Has Heart Attack, Houston Chronicle: Pilot dies in-flight; co-pilot lands jet.
