He is, or so they say. They told us he actually died from cardiac arrest and they worked hard to bring him back. They used the upstairs lounge as a emergency room. We were well into the Pacific with 12 hours flight time to go, when suddendly the time changed to 16:16 and while I was staring at the clock to 2:37. It was a ... moment for everyone looking at the flight paln screen until the captin finally told us what was going on. We were all bussed out to a Long Beach hotel.
