Delta Flight Diverts for Medical Emergency, Pilot Hospitalized
A Delta flight from Los Angeles to Boston diverted to Detroit after the captain fell ill and requested medical attention; the pilot disembarked and was taken to a hospital. About 147 passengers were on board, and the delay lasted roughly 90 minutes before the flight was re-crewed and continued to Boston, arriving about 1 hour 39 minutes late. Delta apologized and did not release an update on the pilot’s condition.
