Happened about a year ago flying from the East to West coast of the US. Guy in the row behind me seemed really out of it when he was wheeled on to the plane. About an hour into the flight, I felt a tap on my shoulder and the person sitting next to me told me he thought something was wrong with the guy. We tried to wake him but couldn’t. We got flight attendants who notified the pilots and found that there happened to be a doctor and an EMT on board. They tried CPR and the defibrillator for about an hour while we dumped fuel to make an emergency landing in Oklahoma. It was a totally full flight and they needed the exit row which I was seated in to work on him. Dude was very dead by the time we landed. EMS came on board and carried him out. Took this photo after. Wild experience.
We were getting ready to head in while we were waiting on the jet bridge. There was the airport firefighters/EMT waiting with us as well. All I knew at the time was that we were dispatched to clean bodily fluids and bring a bio hazard bag.
We waited for all the passengers to deboard and we waited for the EMT to do their thing. They wheeled out a body covered in a white sheet. I was like holy fuck.
So anyways, me and my team had to clean the dead passenger's seat because it had defecation and urine all over the seat and the carpet. And them last minute we were told that it's going to be scrapped by the plane mechanics and started unbolting the chair and ripping off the carpet to be replaced.
Cleaning the dude's bodily fluids after death felt so morbid.
A girl I know husband died next to her flying back from their honeymoon. After attempts to revive him they just threw a blanket over him and she flew the rest of the way next to her dead husband.
