Funeral for pilot on the Brussels to Newark flight.

Funeral services are planned Tuesday for a Continental Airlines pilot who died during a flight from Brussels to Newark.
Capt. Craig Lenell Sr. of Houston was 60.
Lenell died Thursday of a suspected heart attack midway through Continental Airlines Flight 61. Two co-pilots took over the controls and safely landed the jet in Newark.

Surely.....you can't be serious?

I take this flight quite often because I like the transfer at the smaller airport in Newark, but I've never had this problem.
