Air Canada flight diverted after Pilot screams for help
"The cockpit door opens and there is the pilot and he starts screaming and holding onto the airline attendant saying 'Help me, help me,'" Brown said. "I am seeing the pilot saying 'help me,' I am a little concerned. "He was screaming 'get me off the plane' -- you don't want to hear that. "He looked like he was insane, grey, dead eyes." Here is a track for the flight. I don't know if this data is correct because it shows that… (www.torontosun.com) Mais...

The clue is in the name of the media source. One doesn't expect to read a balanced, explanatory report in the Toronto Sun. The incident wasn't even noticed in the other local media. Read the inane comments from Sun readers and you will understand that this is a superficial report with little or no content.
LOL - So typical - LOL
In looking at the chart, it seems that the incident alledgedly occured over an approximate 30 min time period. If the pilot relied solely on the chart, anyone would conceivably panic. Chart also shows that speed dropped to 0kts. That is not likely since there would have to be forward movement even if the aircraft was descending - thus 0 not possible. So I would tentatively conclude that it was an instrument failure or temporary malfunction.
Sounds like a panic attack at 37000 personal problems maybe a contributing factor to this icendent as to the planes attitude something is not right with data .
Souds like a full outorotation recovery , but with a ceased wing . Numbers don't jive .
This aircraft declared a medical mayday to Toronto Centre over North Bay. The ACARS flight data is inaccurate, it's purported triangular approach path is even inexplicable when such flights make a beeline instead of meandering around. The 1st officer suffered some undisclosed ailment. Who knows, possibly asthma. Something debilitating. The cause hasn't been published.
The Captain would've assumed control as a medivac flight and given #1 landing priority. EMS rendezvous once coming to a stop on the assigned runway and on to whichever nearby hospital for hopefully a speedy recovery. In all, delaying the flight to NJ by maybe an hour.
