Statistical blip?

A United Airlines co-pilot lost consciousness mid-flight this morning, officials said, one day after an American Airlines pilot died mid-flight.

The plane, which was en route from Houston to San Francisco, was diverted to the Albuquerque International Sunport, where it landed safely at 8:20 a.m, airport spokesman Daniel Jiron said.

The co-pilot was unconscious but stable, Jiron said.

What else? Not even the same kind of event, really, one unconscious but stable, one sadly dead.

Probably wanted to see how the captain managed single-crew. :eek:
