Qantas pilot's terrifying cockpit act just seconds after landing in Sydney
A Qantas trainee pilot flying a Boeing 737 plane with over 200 passengers onboard fainted just moments after landing. The incident occurred on Qantas flight QF804, which left Canberra Airport just after 6pm and landed in Sydney just before 7pm on Monday. Of the 200 people onboard, 113 were passengers, plus eight crew and three pilots. The trainee reportedly told his first officer he felt unwell shortly before fainting. A second pilot, a check captain who was there to supervise the journey, took over and was able to safely taxi the plane to a gate at Sydney's T3 terminal. Paramedics treated the trainee pilot while passengers disembarked without issue. Aviation expert and Director of Carter Capner Law, Peter Carter, told Daily Mail Australia the pilot would be unable to resume flying until he was recertified. 'Airline pilots must, in any event, undergo annual medical examinations by a designated aviation medical examiner (DAME),' he explained. Aviation expert and Director of Carter Capner Law, Peter Carter, told Daily Mail Australia the pilot would be unable to resume flying until he was recertified. 'Airline pilots must, in any event, undergo annual medical examinations by a designated aviation medical examiner (DAME),' he explained. Mr Carter said there were strict regulations in place to monitor pilots' health, with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) able to revoke their licences if necessary. 'Pilots must ground themselves if they have a medically significant condition and notify their designated aviation medical examiner (DAME) or CASA if the condition lasts longer than seven days,' he said. 'The standard of testing is higher for airline pilots than, for example, private pilots.' 'A medical condition does not of itself prevent the medical certificate from being issued. It's a question of whether the condition poses a safety risk. CASA may impose conditions on the pilot's privileges, for example, by limiting duty times.' Qantas said that all protocols were properly followed in a statement. 'Our pilots followed standard operating procedures when one pilot suffered a medical incident following landing in Sydney,' a spokesperson said. 'The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is our priority, and we're supporting the individual following the incident.' The matter was reported to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) who confirmed they had investigated. 'The operator and pilot reports have been added to the ATSB's database, but the ATSB is not investigating this event further,' a spokesperson said. 'As reported to the ATSB, after a safe landing, and while the aircraft was stationary on the tarmac, the pilot flying felt unwell and was incapacitated for a short time. 'Two other flight crew were in the cockpit, took control and taxied to the gate without incident.' In 2023, a QantasLink flight from Sydney to Hobart encountered a serious safety risk when the first officer experienced a medical episode during landing, showing symptoms similar to hypoxia. According to the ATSB, the incident was linked to poor cabin air quality, caused by a chlorine-like odour emanating from the cockpit's air-conditioning vents. 'At about 100 feet above the runway elevation, the first officer experienced difficulties keeping the aircraft lined up with the runway centreline,' the ATSB report stated. Despite the challenges, the flight landed safely with 54 passengers and five crew members on board. The plane involved in the incident was retired in September 2023.

Australian woman dies after consuming too much caffeine
A Melbourne woman who waited more than seven hours for an ambulance died alone in her apartment from a caffeine overdose, despite calling for help the night before. Christina Lackmann, 32, contacted emergency services from her Caulfield North home on April 20, 2021, describing symptoms including dizziness, numbness, and feeling light-headed. She was found dead the next morning. Coroner Catherine Fitzgerald found the aspiring cancer researcher would likely have survived had paramedics arrived sooner. Ms Lackmann made a triple zero call at 7.49pm, telling a handler she was feeling unwell and was unable to get up from the floor. The coroner has highlighted problems with the response to the call, including not transferring Ms Lackmann to a health practitioner for further assessment. At no point did she disclose she had taken caffeine tablets and was categorised as a non-acute/non-urgent Code 3. She was told to keep her phone line free and Ambulance Victoria staff attempted to call her back 14 times. Ms Lackmann was also sent one text but all attempts to contact her were left unanswered. Christina Lackmann (pictured) died in the early hours of April 22, 2021 after calling for help the previous evening when she felt sick, dizzy and was unable to get up off the floor Caffeine tablets were delivered to Ms Lackmann's apartment on the same day she made the triple-zero call. The tablets nor their packaging was found in the apartment (stock) Ms Lackmann, who was studying for her final semester of a biomedical sciences degree, had called her mother Beate Lackmann earlier in the evening, but she was unable to answer the call. Beate told the inquest she attempted to call her daughter back at 6.30pm. She did not answer but told her mum she was 'ok' during a text exchange. Her case priority was upgraded an hour after her triple-zero call, which should have improved her chances of having an ambulance dispatched imminently. However, two ambulances that were subsequently assigned to her were diverted to greater-priority cases. Seven hours and 11 minutes after her call for help , paramedics gained access to Ms Lackmann's apartment shortly before 3am. She was pronounced dead soon after having died alone on her bathroom room. It was later discovered via an email on Ms Lackmann's phone that she an iHerb order of caffeine tablets had been delivered to her apartment on the day she made the triple-zero call. Ms Lackmann (pictured with her mother Beate Lackmann) did not respond to Ambulance Victoria staff's 14 attempts to call her back following her initial triple-zero call The tablets nor their packaging was found in the apartment. A post-mortem found Ms Lackmann had ingested a very high concentration of caffeine. Associate Professor Narendra Gunja, a specialist medical practitioner in clinical and forensic toxicology, said caffeine overdoses can become fatal within eight hours of ingestion. He said if paramedics had been dispatched to Ms Lackmann and she had been hospitalised soon after her call for help, she would have likely received proper medical treatment. Ms Lackmann would likely have been asked what she had ingested and treated for a caffeine overdose. He said he was unable to suggest an exact time when her death was preventable because it was not clear when Ms Lackmann took the tablets nor how large the dose was. The Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine's chief toxicologist, Dimitri Gerostamoulos, said the concentration of caffeine found in Ms Lackmann's blood could not be achieved by drinking coffee. Ms Fitzgerald slammed Ambulance Victoria in her ruling and said the wait time was 'unacceptable', with 80 per cent of their vehicles unable to respond to emergencies as they were ramped up at hospitals. Ambulance ramping involves paramedics being forced to wait to offload patients at emergency departments. Following the inquest, Ambulance Victoria undertook an internal review and made changes to its procedures.
