Passengers on an Air Canada flight got a scare last week after a pilot began screaming for help and demanded to get off the flight.
Dave Brown was on a flight from Calgary to Newark Thursday, when he felt the plane jolt.
Brown tells The Calgary Sun a moment later, a flight attendant was asking if any doctors were on board.
He was alarmed to discover it was the pilot that needed to be restrained and the flight was diverted to Toronto to meet paramedics.
Air Canada is not commenting on the incident, but Brown believes the man may have suffered a seizure.
