Couple forced to sit next to dead body on plane for 4 hours after woman dies mid-flight
-
The smallest also stood on the tray, grabbing at my seat and head, diving in between the seat screaming PEEKABOO at full volume directly in my ear.
I would've grabbed the kids arm and traumatised him for life
-
That depends on the aircaft. It's very accessible on the ART42/72.
-
Cause flight crew are seated next to emergency exits for a reason. Safety > inconvenience
-
Most of the planes I've been on had at least some crew seats tucked into the back and out of the way of the primary exits if I am remembering correctly. There probably is a good reason, such as tripping hazards for the crew doing their work or the seats not really being effective for long term seating and keeping the body in place (I'm thinking of the fold down crew seats).

Yeah fuck Qatar Air
-
On a related note, why don't more people just drop dead while driving a car? Like I can't think of a single story that I'm aware of that went "yeah he had a heart attack and then ran the car off the road"
I feel like it should be a daily occurrence
-
Probably because after they do, they crash and it will generally be assumed the crash is what killed them.
-
I used to work with a lady who, upon missing her shift, the next day the managers were all going around quietly telling staff that she died on her way to work, that she’d had a massive stroke while driving. New fear unlocked that day. But yeah I guess you don’t hear about it on the news because the may just assume car accident is what causes the fatalities.
-
That’s right. I’m a doctor.
-
A baby’s shitty diaper pales in comparison to the recently deceased evacuation of bowels of an adult human.
-
See Harry Chapin.
-
Are you sure because too many times I’ve been on a 2hr flight and there’s a line for the lav the entire time. It’s a mystery I will never understand.

World’s (or at least, That Plane’s) Worst Dad
Thanks for nothing, Peter.

Just put on the seatbelt sign and do a parabolic arc to simulate microgravity. Way easier to nudge a body around then!
-
I seem to be in the minority, but the baby.
Kids are awesome. Little bundles experiencing new things constantly. It's fucking cool.
-
Why not secure it in a flight attendant seat in the back and the flight attendant take the seat next to the living people?
It makes the most sense.
-
I've sat next to many a passenger who was dead from the neck upwards.
-
Slightly unrelated, but last time I vomited during a flight they refused to take the bag and throw it away. I had to sit there for 6 hours, holding an uncloseable plastic bag full of my own vomit. Next to other passengers. Like, I get that it's technically some kind of hazard waste that flight attendants shouldn't have to handle, but the alternative is me potentially accidentally spilling it on or near other passengers. I had to carry it off the plane with me like it was my carry-on. It was absolutely ridiculous.
-
I knew someone that was orphaned in high school because his dad had a heart attack, crashed, killed himself and his wife.
-
It's going to be real weird when self driving cars finally work and sometimes cars just pull up with a dead body in it.
