Immortality is not for humans but, what happens when you die in flight?


#Internationalflights #businessclass #bodybags #cabincrew None of us humans are immortal, all of us have to die and the death cannot be predicted – it can happen anywhere. Yes, even inside a plane that is cruising along at an altitude of 30000 feet. So what happens when that such a situation becomes a reality?
It has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 27 February 2015 that the crew must know how to react to a situation where a sudden death occurs in the air.
Nearly eight million people are travelling by aeroplane every day and, any of them could die suddenly. It could be death from natural causes on a domestic or international flight. So, how does the crew react, what do they do with the deceased person’s body in order not to alarm other passengers, especially children. The options are not very many because of the lack of any spare space inside the plane.
Therefore, the deceased could be shifted to an empty row in first or business class cabins. Some aircraft for long-haul journeys are equipped with special compartments to keep a body out of sight while some others have body bags, just in case.
Moreover, when there is absolutely no space, the cabin crew should cover the person with a blanket up to their neck and tighten their safety belt.
Shifting a dead passenger into the loo is not any possible option because the passenger could slip out from the seat and wind up on the floor.
