Bit more info... It is an Alitalia performing flight from Milan to JFK With 168 pax on board. And the Captain became ill.

What type of aircraft are we talking here? 168 pax...smaller then a 747(I'm not positive Alitalia is still operating the 747)...maybe a 767? Could be a 777...load sound a bit low thou...probably a 767.

Did you happen to catch the flight number by chance?
