There were some scary moments aboard an Air Canada flight that took off from Newark on Wednesday.

Flight 7664, en route to Halifax, Nova Scotia, had to make an emergency landing in Boston after the captain became incapacitated, forcing the co-pilot to take over.

The flight had taken off from Newark Liberty International Airport.

Passengers said they knew something was wrong when the plane swerved multiple times while in flight.

The flight landed safely in Boston, with emergency first responders nearby.

The captain was taken to a hospital for treatment.

The 61 passengers were not injured.
