Cousin: Dying woman twice refused oxygen on flight
During an Airlines flight, Carine Desir Struggled breathing and asked for oxygen, but a flight attendant twice refused her request. After refusing to give her oxygen the attendant finally relented but various medical devices on the plane failed, including two oxygen tanks that were found to be empty and what may have been a defibrillator that seemed to malfunction. American Airlines confirmed the flight death and said medical professionals had tried to save the womans life. Desir, who had heart disease, died of natural causes. Desir's cousin, Oliver asked for the plane to "land right away so he could get her to the hospital and the pilot agreed to divert to Miami, 45 minutes away. But during that time Desir collapsed and died. But she died and the flight was continued to John F. Kennedy International Airport, without stopping in Miami. Desir's body was moved to the floor of the first-class section and covered with a blanket.
Opinion
I can's believe the airplane was carring empty oxygen tanks in the plane. This airplane airlines should be sued especially since one of the attendants refused to give oxygen to a woman that couldn't breath and was dying. This attendant should be put in prison. I think that Desir's death had nothing to do with her health problems because she could have been saved. These doctors and nurses did not try their best to save this woman. All these people could have stopped this woman from dying I can't believe that after she died the pilot did not even stop at miami.
