@stux The two people onboard shut down the engines and exited the plane and did not require medical attention. The video only says that there "reportedly" was a pressurization issue, not that there was one and the statement is unattributed. This sure strikes me as a potentially orchestrated stunt/market manipulation.

@Infoseepage It's been clarified since it broke a few days ago by the company which owns the plane.

The crew says they never lost consciousness and let it activate as a precaution. The computer selected the speech and words to use.

I would hope the FAA would read the black box and other data and make a report about it. It doesn't look like an incident is posted yet at the FAA for Dec 20 and the plane left the following day. https://www.asias.faa.gov/apex/f?p=100:93:::NO:::

@paul @Infoseepage Interesting!

The tech could be very handy nonetheless

@stux
Wait… Was the pilot "incapacitated" or not? The end of the story says they shut the engines down by themselves.
