AA1353 FO died minutes before landing

(Not My Own Words) American Airlines #AA1353 co-pilot has died minutes before landing in New Mexico

(My words)…this is truly heartbreaking for the AAL and aviation family. I had a friend whose father was a captain for a small airline and he almost died of a heart attack after landing and pulling in to the gate. It was a big ordeal. They had to call medical responders through the jetway and onto the aircraft, holding all personnel in the aircraft while they deplaned the captain. I’m really praying for the family of this FO.

Sorry the article didn’t have much to say so I added I bit of my own. And yes I was in a bit of a sleepy haze and forgot the #real-world-aviation.

Hasn’t this happened before when another pilot passed away before landing? I can recall a topic with an Airbus Captain of AA on the forum I think last year.
