Air Canada captain incapacitated mid-flight; co-pilot safely diverts to Boston

Captain experienced a medical emergency requiring hospitalization at Mass General Hospital; no passenger injuries reported.

Somewhere over the northeastern United States on a Wednesday afternoon, a captain fell ill at the controls of a regional jet carrying 61 souls toward Halifax, and the machinery of aviation safety — built quietly into every flight — did exactly what it was designed to do. The first officer, trained to the same standard as the captain beside him, took the aircraft, chose Boston, and brought everyone down safely. What might have seemed like a crisis was, in the deeper sense, a system completing its purpose: not the absence of danger, but the presence of preparation.
