A Turkish Airlines pilot died after collapsing mid-flight, forcing the Turkish national carrier to make an emergency landing in New York, the airline said Wednesday. The incident occurred after the plane took off from Seattle on Tuesday evening, airline spokesman Yahya Ustun wrote on social media.

    Also I’d rather die at work, soaring above the clouds, trying to connect people safely to another destination, than in a cubicle at Wells Fargo.

      Right on. It’s better to die peacefully among the clouds than it is to die afraid and screaming, like your passengers.
