A pilot died at the controls of his plane’s cockpit after suffering from a massive heart attack mid-flight.<\/p>\n
Up to 220 passengers were said to be on board the Saudi Arabian Airlines flight SV 1734 when the plane’s captain Waleed bin Mohammed Al-Mohammed died mid-journey.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the aircraft had left Bisha airport in Asir in southwest Saudi Arabia as normal last night and headed for King Khalid International Airport in the capital Riyadh.<\/p>\n
But just a few minutes before landing during the two hour flight, the co-pilot radioed a state of emergency after his colleague passed out at the controls.<\/p>\n
