[PhilDernerJr]

Air Canada from Toronto to London; F/O had a nervous breakdown, had to be restrained, and the plane diverted to Shannon, Ireland.

It actually saddens me to hear someone going through that.

Scary situation. It sucks for the co-pilot, but it's great there was no further incident.

He was demanding to "speak to God" and had to be shackled to a seat, all in view of the passengers. :shock:

Heard about this on the radio. Scary stuff indeed, though the pilot handled it pretty well, according to the report.
