Imagine, you are on a long flight and suddenly someone dies next to you. You cannot go from there even if you want to. One such shocking case has come to light, in which a couple were forced to sit with the dead body. A female passenger suddenly fell ill in a 15 -hour flight of Qatar Airways from Melbourne to Doha and died on the spot.
The aircraft team first tried to save the woman, but failed. He then tried to take the body to the business class, but it was not possible to take her from the narrow corridor due to the woman’s body being heavy.
Will you sit on the second seat?
Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, who were present in the flight, got two additional seats. The crew requested him to change his seat so that the body could be kept there. Mitchell told that the crew member asked us, “Can you move forward?” I said ‘yes’ without thinking anything. After this, he put the body of the woman on my seat.
Forced to sit with the dead body for 4 hours!
Mitchell said that he had to travel with the body for four hours. A picture has also surfaced, in which Mitchell is looking towards his screen and next to him is the body of a woman who is covered with a blanket. Even when the flight reached Italy, there was no relief. Even when the flight reached Italy, the couple were asked to stay on their seat, so that the body could be removed first. Michel says, “I can’t believe that he asked us to stay there.” This was the worst experience of my life.
Questions raised on social media due to clarification of Qatar Airways
