  • Man forced to sit next to corpse

    Man forced to sit next to corpse for hours after passenger dies on
    long-haul flight
    ...

    The couple said they were traumatised by the incident, which unfolded
    when a woman walked out of the bathroom and collapsed next to their
    row.

    "Unfortunately the lady couldn't be saved, which was pretty
    heartbreaking to watch," Ring said.

    "They tried to wheel her up towards business class, but she was quite
    a large lady and they couldn't get her through the aisle.

    "They looked a bit frustrated, then they just looked at me and saw
    seats were available beside me, my wife was on the other side, we were
    in a row of four.

    "They said, 'Can you move over please?' and I just said, 'Yes no
    problem'.

    "Then they placed the lady in the chair I was in."

    They may not have been medically dead, but I've sat with some 'dead' passengers; usually reeking of alcohol.


    I was thinking the opposite: sitting next to a stiff might be better
    than sitting next to some of the healthy/alive A-Holes you meet on
    planes these days.

    If you read the thing carefully though, you see the guy shifted towards
    the window and the stiff sat between him and the aisle. That's vaguely unsettling.

    Wonder if he got to eat her free bag of six little pretzels though. That
    might make it worth it.
