A British Airways crew member tragically died in front of passengers on a flight preparing to depart from London Heathrow. The 52 year old is believed to have collapsed while on duty as the plane was about to take off for Hong Kong.
Despite immediate medical assistance being called, the steward died. The shocking incident led to the cancellation of BA Flight 32, which was due to leave on New Year’s Eve. A spokesperson for British Airways said: “Our thoughts are with our colleagues’ family and friends at this difficult time.”
This comes after a British passenger travelling on a TUI flight to Glasgow suffered a cardiac arrest and died. The plane, which had just taken off from Tenerife, was diverted to Madeira following an emergency signal from the pilots.
Emergency teams, including paramedics and firefighters, met the plane on the runway but sadly, she died, local reports say. The plane was flying to Scotland on Friday, December 29, when an emergency was declared.
Passengers on a British Airways flight were shocked to discover a 73 year old woman, who they thought was asleep, had actually passed away during the journey from London to Nice last September. The lady reportedly had a heart attack mid-flight on BA flight 348 from Heathrow, much to the shock of her fellow passengers. It was only after landing in the French city that others on the flight realised something was wrong.
As passengers started to collect their bags to leave, it was discovered that the woman, who was believed to be sleeping, wasn’t responding. Those around her became worried and alerted the flight crew, who then called for emergency help. Despite attempts by paramedics to revive her, they were sadly unsuccessful.
