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?

Richard Simmons has a good cause. Wow things are bad economically if there's no PE in the schools. Can't imagine going to school without physical educations
goodnight Isabel, Anderson, Erica, good night everyone
Angelina is an amazing woman. She gives so much of herself. I love the fact that she does't act like a spoiled movie star, she gets involved with the people, she plays and cuddles the children. Her children are lucky, because they will grow up knowing that everyone is important, and everyone deserves a chance in life.
Richard Simmons is my hero! Luv him!
Good night, Anderson!
Good night, friends, David (Indiana), bloggers, everyone!
Pot growing in America? Wow! That's new... Pilot dies... well that's a shame, I feel bad for his wife... However once again more important stories... like, Obama bought and paid for the media, this time ABC is not worth the story.
I hope you feel that you are REALLY doing your job. Especially when you brag how you don't take sides... really Cooper? Try not to have a grin on your face when you say that next time.
I really admire Angelina Jolie for using her fame to shine a light on the desperate situation 42 million refugees are in. Many people choose to ignore what goes on outside of their own countries but when such an influential celebrity like Angelina Jolie never shows such passion for a cause that is dear to her heart it is really admirable. When Angelina was first appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the UNHCR in 2001 she said she would never forget the refugees and she never has.
Thank you Anderson & Erica & entire 360 teamfor another excellent and diversified show. Good night too.
Good night fellow bloggers, enjoyed your comments as always.
Can't believe the shot – Mr. Simmon has done incredible work on the issue of obesity! Like him, or not, he is another individual who has given much to people who need the help.
Come on Anderson, Dance!
Richard Simmons looks great. Didn't age much huh?
Everybody is working marvelously! Thank you CNN and AC360!
Anderson...I don't believe for a minute that you can't dance.
Good night Anderson, Erica and fellow bloggers! Have a good night and a wonderful tomorrow...enjoy its Friday!
We should legalize marijuana. It does not give hangovers. Listen to your body and have a great evening! Good Night! XO's!
yay to richard simmons!
Richard Simmons great
oh i absolutely think RichardS is a riot!! he is great!! he is so involved in what he believes in – he makes a statement, has never apologized for what he believes in, and THERE is a person who puts a lot of energy into everything. YOU GO, Richard!!
I have a feeling Richard might be fun to watch with the aid of the last segment.
Oh My Goodness, I Love Richard Simmons, If anyone can get P.E. back in schools he can, I love how he said the President and Michele. So refreshing.
YOU GO RICHARD
Goodnight everyone.Peace to all of you and yours.Gotta hand it to Richard Simmons.He still is filled with enthusiasm.
Richard Simmonds!!!HAHAHAHA. What a way to end the night 🙂
About that time ....
Good show tonight, Anderson .... thanks for your continuing coverage on Iran and also bringing the world refugee problem to our attention.
Enjoyed the chat fellow bloggers.....
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.
Not a big fan of Richard Simmons, but like his current "cause."
Long time since I've seen Richard Simmons. So cool!
Good night everybody! "I'm so glad we had this time together!"
Good night Anderson, Erica, David G, Edurrado (Ed Henry) and my friend twitter/facebook bloggers!!!!!!!

LOL!!!! Very funny Anderson and Erica!!!!! (smile)
Anderson,
Have a great night, good sleep at home after work!!!! See you tomorrow night!!! Have a plenty sleep! 😀
who is that guy?

Wa state only averages five tornadoes a year, last week four touched down just south of Spokane....incredible how the weather is in the states! 😀
RICHARD SIMMONS!!!!!
Whooo Hoo !!! Richard Simmons! How have you been? Where have you been?
Oh My Goodness, I Love Richard Simmons
Richard Simmons. Love it.
It may not be as addictive as opiates and other substances but marijuana is a substance that I feel should be controlled. I'm for medicinal use. Should we legalize quaaludes?
I do not think Florida is the exception or any worse than other states as hrow houses are all over the place ...what else is going to be happening when so many homes are going into foreclosure..
If it was legalized we wouldn't have to worry about this we could grow our own or go to the store and get it.
Tornado and Hurricane scare me too! I do not know what that are ... in my country there isn't! 🙂
Special guest? You got my attention... I'm gonna guess Jack Black.
Erica, Anderson is never annoying, he was funny and cute!
Who are they? The people with the kids, why are you showing them, what did they do? Guess I am not up with the Holloywood younger gossip scene,
goodnight great show as always cee yah.
@Cassidy, speaking as a storm chaser....not really, but we know our limits. 😀
Wow, that's one huge tornado! We've had a lot of them here in Colorado, too, but mostly not touching down.
Oh my gosh!! That's amazing video when tornado strikes in Nebraska!!!!
It's time for a new picture of Andy, isn't it?? 🙂
This is adorable photo of Erica ... lol ...
Jon & Kate - there have to be more important issues .. no more please.
End the War on Drugs !
You gotta give that storm chaser credit, even though he was a little "crazy" getting so close. Very exciting video!
I live in southwest Florida. The grow houses down here are all over the place.
storm chasers are extreme weathermen!
ha!
are they afraid of anything?
I liked John Edwards but people will not forget what he did to his wife with her being ill and all.
I agree with Isabel lots of people on this blog, a great interview with Angelina Jolie, informative and inspiring.
I will never understand why people are so interested in Jon and Kate,when there is so much trouble in the world.The interview with Angelina Jolie way more important,and the many problems in Iran.
The money currently being spent on the "war on drugs" could be spent on administration, education and rehabilitation, instead.
Why do we just assume this is a "problem?" I still don't know what I'm supposed to be afarid about here.
