FOX news website says the hospital reports the original pilot is "stabilized."

Over here we have strict HIPAA privacy laws - hospitals will not release anything more specific without patient or family consent.

And the FAA won't either, unless/until they identify something actually significant to aviation safety or operations (like a fumes event, O2 failure (not likely at that altitude) or similar). Simply passing out for personal medical reasons won't qualify.

CNN has a sped-up video of the actual touchdown here - not much to see, possibly a slightly flat attitude and minor bounce, but still an "A+" effort for a non-pilot: https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/f...ane/index.html
