Flight Attendant Dies After Suffering Heart Attack Mid-Air

Flight attendant Gulf air

A Gulf Air flight attendant died after suffering a heart attack mid-flight forcing the plane’s captain to make an emergency landing.

The incident happened Tuesday on a flight from Bahrain to Paris as the plane was traveling at an altitude of around 34,000 feet.

Air steward Yasser Saleh Al Yazidi fell ill on Gulf Air flight GF-19 which had left Bahrain International at 1.40am on Tuesday and was destined for Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.

Infowars reports: The plane made an emergency landing at an airport in Erbil, Iraq, where medics transported the fallen flight steward to a nearby hospital.

Al Yazidi was tragically pronounced dead on arrival.

Gulf Air issued a statement lamenting the cabin crew member’s death.

“The national carrier expresses its deepest condolences to the crew member’s family and loved ones, and confirms that the flight resumed to Paris as scheduled,” Gulf Air stated.

“Gulf Air reassures that the safety of its passengers and crew comes at the top of its priorities, and thanks the affected flight’s passengers for their patience and understanding.”

The tragedy comes as the pilot of a Chicago flight bound for Columbus, Ohio, passed out suddenly after takeoff last Saturday and later died at the hospital.

The New York Post notes a similar heart attack event happened in October when “a woman aboard a flight from Houston to London similarly suffered a heart attack while up in the sky.”

“That woman reportedly went into cardiac arrest in front of several other passengers, and was pronounced dead at the scene.”

Meanwhile, Metro notes another incident happened on an easyJet flight that left a UK airport just two weeks ago:

A passenger died on an easyJet flight to Gatwick airport two weeks ago.

The man, who looked to be in is 50s, was not waking up, despite the cabin crew using a defibrillator to try and save him.

Two people offered to help but neither were able to do anything more than trained crew members

As usual, however, these are just coincidences and there’s nothing to see here!

  1. Honestly they aren’t new They just reported before. My partner of many years was born in flight and so had no birth certificate or nationality because they couldn’t determine whose air space it was. Another friend had twice to cause flights to have to be diverted for emergency medical reasons but it wasn’t in any news.
    We don’t know the cause and its stupid to think ots the jab doing everything Many of these incidents are un related too. People are always sick and dying now thanks to modern medicine.

  2. Makes you want to take a vaccine flight to utopia, huh?

    When will a plane go down because the pilots go kaput?
    Once you are vaccinated, your DNA is altered forever. Thank joe biden for that.
