What happens if an airline pilot has a heart attack on takeoff? How fast can they land to help him? Is there a doctor onboard? Can the other pilot safely land the plane? We're going to find out in this video.

American Airlines Envoy Flight 3556 was scheduled to fly from Chicago O'Hare to Columbus International Airport when the pilot flying in the left seat experienced a heart attack on takeoff and became incapacitated. The flight made an emergency return to Chicago O'Hare. This video was made with the utmost respect for all individuals involved and my hope is that it explains to passengers a little bit about what happens in emergency situations such as this.
