Tonight on 360°, a Continental jet lands safely at Newark airport, with the first officer at the controls. Passengers say that's when they learned the 60-year-old captain had died during the cross-Atlantic flight, apparently from natural causes. A doctor on board was called to help. Should the crew have told all the passengers what was happening?

We need more Angelina's from Hollywood. Celebrities have such following that I think they can really make a difference. Of course, no excuse for us not to do our part in small ways as well. Great interview, Anderson.
wow! im really sad for the pilot but im proud that the co pilot took charge like that!
I think this is the 3rd interview between AC and Angelina. Each time I sit in humble wonderment... This woman is a living saint.
Bless her...
The refugees pain never gets the best of them they keep going and have amazing strengh we should all have that kind of strenght inside of us too.
I think it's commendable how Angelina uses her status to help others all around the world, especially children. She's definitely grown as an inspiring role model to me.
@ Anderson and 360 team
The interview was great! Congratulations and thank you!
Worth it the madness of the day for bringing us this interview!
I missed all the details of your flight Anderson but what I heard sure doesn't make me like flying more.
Angelina Jolie has really transformed herself inside to be a truly gorgeous woman, much like Princess Diana was. Oh that more multimillionaires, male and female, would learn the wisdom of doing the same.
@Michelle D it also prevents clotting that can lead to/cause a heart attack. I have a feeling this is where this may go next.
It's interesting the authorities say that a fairly new aircraft, "broke up" in mid-air , it certainly raises eyebrows.
I'm glad that Angelina wants more kids. Maybe she will go to the orphanages here for a change.lots of kids available, especially with those who will not abort a baby, but have no problem giving it away
I think some aren't giving the passengers enough credit. This wasn't some made for TV movie with the cliche panicking passengers. I'm sure some noticed something going on, and it's better to explain than leave people wondering.
I can only feel deep respect for the refugees that continue to have a winning spirit.So many of the downtrodden have this attitude towards life and it is admirable.I try to appreciate ,every day,how lucky I am.I too, have little tolerance for whining..In the scheme of things we are all blessed,don't you think?
I wish more people paid attention to important issues in the world. Jolie is admirable and we should all find our own way of helping to make the world a little better.
@ Anderson – read your "tweets" Think "crazy" is an understatement. Hope your day got better - enjoying the Angelina Jolie interview on this very important topic.
Angelina is a noble woman, using her celebrity to bring attention to good causes. And she's gorgeous.
Hey Anderson~ Sorry you day has been so bad. Angelina is so cool and right on. Each and every human is important. It is also important for us to do what we can to improve this world one person at a time.
Cheers to Angelina and Brad! XO
Jolie makes a good spokeswoman for the refugees. Its good to see a celebrity being so supportive and outspoken on such a vital cause.
@anderson haha, to say the least! so calm, cool, and collected.
Anderson,
Great interview with Angelina! God bless individuals like Angelina!!
@Minou – I'm right there with you. We can all learn so much from them
I too thought your tweets were cool since you were having a bad morning .@Anderson.
I am glad Angelina Jolie need help for refugees to safe place, I know she plea for her help right now...... Anderson, Thank you for interview Angelina tonight.
Amazing interview.
Thank you Anderson for giving us the exciting back story on the refugee crisis.
I know that a lot of people don't take Angeina seriously, however, she has been involved with Unicef and children's issues globally for a long time now.
Love the story about the 15 year old....very touching and true. (all of us take our lives for granted at times, we need to stop an think of others anywhere in the world, including USA). I donate monthly to Unicef and St. Judes. It's not hands on, but it is something.
Igive Ms.Jolie a great deal of credit for what she does. Thank you Anderson for bringing us this interview.
Hello Anderson, Erica, bloggers, and the rest of the 360 team.
Is it just me or is there more plane emergencies these days.
Think about it...The Miracle on the Hudson, Flight 447, and the Continental pilot dying in the sky!
@Anderson, after reading those tweets, I don't think you need to apologize....
@Mike - not sure about the boat - my friend's mother-in-law is on a cruise ship docked off the coast of Egypt - they experienced an engine fire today - life jackets, passengers to their muster stationns.... fire is now out and passengers are safe -
evening everyone.. sorry im late.. its been a crazy day here.
Truly, these poor people are so incredible. They've been thru so much, but they have the strength to go on. Makes me ashamed of ever complaining.
@ Anderson
After so many events weighers with plane flights, will not you be fearful? Or rather not think about it, since you always have to fly?
Anderson,
So funny with the flight attendent and the barf bag. Glad you didn't get sick and landed safe.
I love Angelina and commend her and her husband for their compassion and generous nature. Great interview Anderson you are the best.
@Prebil the idea of walking around during a long flight prevents bad circulation .
Wow that seems like a very eventful morning! At least everyone is safe!
Such an incredible interview with Angelina....thanks for getting the satellite interview arranged. I can't imagine what these poor kids have been through. But their strength and resolve is an inspiration.
PS: I hope Senator Clinton gets better soon!
@Angela- I totally agree with you. Angelina is an example of an extraordinary person in the eyes of those she inspired the most.
About Angelina's comment... there are people in our own country who have lost their job, home, and all that they own. Who is going to rescue them? Where is their hand to help them up?
Some say Angelina or other celebs are using thier star power to further these causes but i think she is really inspiring to refugees and thier pain and suffering.
Oh Anderson! Loved the tweets. You and your staff really deserve kudos for persevering to bring us this important story.
Loved the animation of your plane! Very clever.
omg!
he left an impression with me too!
his spirit lives!
I am not a Jolie fan.
That was very thoughtful of Anderson to ask his guest to clarify the relationship between the Iatola and the President of Iran. I was aware of his power but this put it more into prospective for me. So thank you Anderson and thanks for doing the story on the Pakistani refuges. My best friend Luxmi is from Karachi Pakistan and this issue is dear to my heart.
@Anderson Which do you prefer plane ,trains or automoblies?
The idea of flying is too scary .
What is it with planes? Anderson is the latest flight victim.....
who's next? 🙁
Thank God for the saving grace on the passengers and may God grant the family of the deceased the fortitude to bear the loss!!!
The right of refugees has a direct relationship with human rights and the Freedom desired, which is the basis of true democracy.
i have always liked and respected Angelina's approach to things. she's honest. she's real. she talks the talk, but she also walks the walk
Not of fan on Angelina, but I do respect what she has done.
I wouldn't care how long it took wether it was by boat or by car or train just as long as i get there safley . That's all that matters.
@ Anderson
your morning wasn't the best!
I hope for, the rest of the day, you have been rewarded in some way! 🙂
I'm so glad the interview with Angelina could take place. She is an inspiration to me!
Anderson, were you totally unafraid of the whole plane incident?? im wondering what the look on your face was. lol
