Kind of weird, not much more than this reported yet and not sure what happened. Just heard it on the news.

Anyone else heard anything? If this is true, my thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.
Its true, the Captain died enroute. They are currently 200 miles NE of Newark. CAL flight 61 a Boeing 777 enroute from Belguim. My thoughts and prayers are also with the family of those affected.
