26-Sep-2013 - UA1603 [IAH-SEA] Diverts to BOI Due to Crew Medical Emgergency

In Boise now after making a sudden left turn and making a quick landing. My seatmate saw CPR being performed and it was about 30 minutes from then before he was taken off the plane after parking right off the runway next to emergency vehicles.

BOI personnel very helpful but still awaiting word on replacement crew getting to BOI to advance the aircraft to SEA. No word on the condition of the Captain. It's a very sad situation.

FO reports Captain still alive but still has much recovery ahead.
