The plane is 10 minutes, suddenly no one is responsible after the co -pilot
A plane belonging to the Lufthansa airline spent 10 minutes flying without flying on the plane. The unusual case occurred after the commander left the cabin to go to the commander to the bathroom, and then the co -pilot was suddenly ill.

The LH77X flight carrying 205 people departed from Frankfurt, Germany towards Seville, Spain. During the event, it is in the cruise phase – that is, at a steady height and speed – and on the autopilot.
According to information from the investigation report, the pilot left the command booth at 10:31 am for “physical needs” and went to the bathroom. Prior to that, he spoke to the co -pilot about the weather conditions and the operation of the plane. According to the captain, the Co -Pilot seemed to “skill and warned” at that time.
The pilot returned at 10:39 pm, but could not access the cabin. He tried to enter the password four times, no benefit.
Then a staff tried to call the command booth, but there was no answer. Fearing the situation, the pilot entered the emergency code.
Shortly afterwards, Co -Pilot opened the cabin door manually. Still, according to the report, he moves “tender, sweat and strange.”
