Weekend At Bernie's - The Airline Version

Warning: This is funny, but gross. If you're eating now, you may want to wait 'til later to pull this up:

Personally, I'd freak in this situation. Aside from the creep factor, I'd be worried about what killed him and if it was contagious or not.

:eek

 

After her holiday, Pettersson decided to seek compensation from the airline, concluding that she had not been entirely satisfied with her flight.

I believe the fact that this person works as a reporter for Sveriges Radio (SR), the state broadcaster "which first broke the story of her macabre holiday flight to east Africa" had much to do with her being able to accomplish mooching 50% refund from the airline. Aside from that, I just don't see how the airline should be held economically responsible at all; just because somebody happened to have croaked in-flight and this upset the Swedish moocher. I mean how is this the airline's fault?

I especially liked her comment:
"Of course it was unpleasant, but I am not a person who makes a fuss," Lena Pettersson told the newspaper. She puts the story on the radio, sues or at least decided to seek compensation from the airline, concluding that "she had not been entirely satisfied with her flight" and yet she considers herself "not one to make a fuss!" <lol>

She was stuck next to the dead guy for ten hours!

A US airline would have likely make an emergency landing at the nearest airport - even if it meant diverting the flight.

If this were not possible, there were other options. Stick the body in a lavatory. Hide it in a galley. Strap it into a flight attendant seat at the back of the plane and have the flight attendant use the "dead space" next to the reporter (groan...I just had to say that! :-D).

Again, I think this was a serious potential health issue. His symptoms may have been caused by a contageous disease...that, and dead people usually lose control of their (ahem...) bodily functions once they stop ticking.

L.M.A.O ~ Gman! <g>
Or... How about just giving the guy a "Superman Sendoff"
by simply bringing the Kenya Airways plane to a much lower altitude and then chucking him out the door! 1978 Superman theme ​

She had been brave to sit in a plane for 10 hours next to a dead man. I don’t want to imagine such a beginning of my vacation.
