Couple forced to sit next to dead body on plane for 4 hours after woman dies mid-flight
-
Wait until they figure out self driving cars enough for grandmas to show up dead at places.
-
I think that's a fairly reasonable solution. The problem is asking people though. Can't really blast on the loud speaker that someone died, hard to go seat by seat.
-
Was this an ART42/72?
-
Blankets aren't waterproof.
-
Eh, still beats a living stranger.
-
I think you've just literally never been around a dead body.
-
That's true. The odds of me having the opportunity to sit next to one on a plane are extremely, low, though, so it's a moo point.
-
Nice one. Counterpoint, it seems the person was fresh out of the restroom.
(I feel the need to say it, but I'm not actually that serious about sitting near a corpse for hours)
-
Given Trump's policies, idk about that. It might become commonplace for us to see dead bodies. It was during his last admin, all those makeshift body storage areas, remember?
-
It really should be policy to allow at least the seat(s) next to the deceased (I understand not moving the body for coroner/investigation reasons) use any surplus steward seats or those staff seats in the cockpit for employees.
Just basic decency.
-
But in the highly specific situation of me having to sit next to one on a plane? Still unlikely.

Oh I remember flying Frankfurt to Chicago with American Airlines! I mean we were 23 hours late because we had two emergency landings in Canada since our turbine caught fire twice and somehow had to stand in line for 6-7 hours for passport control in Canada to change the plane eventually - but they did have warm and nice food as well as beverages and even provided us with snacks and beverages while we were waiting inside the plane during the inspections! I mean we would have appreciated it if they had informed our relatives that we didn't die since there was apparently no information on our flight passed on whatsoever on either side of the atlantic and everyone thought we were dead (this was 2008, we were all teenagers and no one had any cell phone connection in Goose Bay), but the food was indeed nice. Pros and cons.

What about on a train?
-
I feel like they wouldn't force someone to sit next to a corpse on a train, as stopping is much easier.
-
See above.

What about a gondola?
