The LATAM Airlines plane, which was headed to Santiago, Chile, landed in Panama City, Panama, because one of its three command crew members had a medical emergency, airline officials said. First responders were unable to revive the pilot. The airline, which did not release the pilot's name or medical issue, said he worked for LATAM for 25 years, "distinguished by his dedication, professionalism and enthusiasm."
