The incident gave the rest of us a sense of security that we were in good hands on this 9-hour flight. Other than an announcement to request help from any passengers with medical background, the situation was dealt with quickly and privately without any disruption to the rest of the passengers. (btw, the gentleman with the medical problem made it to Hamburg without further crisis, and was taken off the plane first by medics.) It was nice to hear everyone thanking the crew for their sensible and sensitive actions during the flight, rather than just the usual "ba-bye".Barbara Szalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07972904506779428131noreply@blogger.com
