Couple forced to sit next to dead body on plane for 4 hours after woman dies mid-flight
-
Damn it, I'll take the corpse
-
I rather sit next to a baby than half the people on flights
-
I made a ton of extra room in my Camry by ripping the seats out like a goddamn silverback.
-
I hate that your offer is appealing. But only briefly -- the baby was never going to win.
-
Baby shit =/= Adult shit
For the parents, no.
-
The airline installed a discreet locker next to one of the aircraft's exit doors to hold an average-sized human body. Special straps were also provided to secure the body and prevent it from being moved by turbulence or during landing.
-
I feel like they low key hated that particular couple.
-
Accurate. Are you a summarization bot?
-
It happened over the sea.
-
Yes, but it's operating on a biological substrate.
-
I mean, only sometimes. Stuff kind of comes out of bodies at it's own pace.
-
Flying from Melbourne to Doha is almost entirely over the ocean.
With 4 hours left in a 13h flight, they were probably near Sri Lanka but the Colombo airport is one of the busiest in South Asia, and as you say, it's a huge hassle to divert.
-
Is there an option to turn even more of the other passengers into bodies?
Wait, no, don't put me on the list -
-
Technically, there was at least 1 free seat since the woman wasn't using it anymore.
But that begs the question, assuming the entire plane was full then the lady was sitting next to at least one other person. They moved her from that seat to be in next to the couple in question. So it seems to me there is no situation where it's not extremely messed up.

A trained neural network of sorts

dead bodies sometimes shit or urinate themselves. and your just being hotboxed in a plane.

Sometimes I am reminded of a book I read as a kid wherein one of the main characters dies and is eventually resurrected. She says that when you die, you don't lose awareness or move on, you just passively occupy the body without the ability to move (like locked-in syndrome, I guess, but I didn't know that as a kid and don't know whether it was even recognized back then). In particular she describes the horrors of her autopsy.
If that were true, I wonder whether the person within the cadaver would be embarrassed to have caused such inconvenience. I know I would.
-
I think that's probably too morbid if they have a death seat designed into airplanes.
Besides, what if two passengers die on the plane?
-
They flew all the way from Melbourne to go to Venice of all places, can't help but get the mental image of an obnoxious insta couple.
-
Babies shit and piss themselves constantly.
