[QUOTE=OrlandoFlyer;6793702]The female passenger, about 75 years old and travelling on her own, had a heart attack a couple of rows behind us and the crew could not revive her with CPR. QUOTE]
A reason that every aircraft (and every school, sporting arena, etc.) should be outfitted with an AED (automatic external defibrillator) in the chance that the patient can be converted to a normal cardiac rhythm. Not saying it would have helped in this particular case, but you need to give people a fighting chance to survive a lethal cardiac arrythmia, and ventricular fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disturbance in sudden cardiac death.
Sad news.
