    Wow, I am amazed that in a country as litigious as the US that all available medical devices on a passenger aircraft were non-functional

    Sad to say but someone's gonna get a ton of money with this upcoming lawsuit.

    What is really strange is the actions of the flight attendant...Or lack of actions.

    Agreed, that explanation makes a lot more sense.

    This was on the 11 PM TV News.
    Apparently the cabin crew is CPR trained and DEFIB trained. 2 Doctors and 2 nurses happened to be aboard. The doctors and nurses said that the O2 bottles worked and so did the DEFIB gear. Apparently AA has 12 O2 bottles and a DEFIB on every flight and pre-flight checks ensure they are full and functional.
    Basically this Haitian guy smells money and is full of something else.
    Did Streaker post this?

    Woman dies on American Airlines flight to New York

    I recall some years ago a lot more people than that died on an American Airlines flight to New York. I'd say their service is improving as at least most of the passengers arrived safely. :idea:

    It almost sounds like she first became hyperglycemic (because of the thirst and she just ate a meal) and then died of ketoacidosis (due to the subsequent difficulty in breathing). If this was the case she was doomed without a hospital nearby. No amount of oxygen is gonna save her.
