Woman Dies In American Airlines Bathroom Is Dragged Naked Down The Isle In Front Of 150 Horrified Passengers

The Airlines have been in the news a lot lately but not for their great advertisements or customer service. Just a couple of months ago, United Airlines dragged a doctor down the aisle of the plane who refused to give up a seat that he paid for and now  American Airlines dragged a passenger who passed away in their bathroom off the plane with her lower half of her body naked and exposed to 150 other passengers.

Ear Hustle 411 does not know what caused the passengers death but you would think that they would show the deceased a little respect. You then have to ask yourself, If they don’t respect the living why on earth should we expect them to respect the dead.

A woman who collapsed and died in the rear bathroom on an American Airlines flight was dragged naked from the waist down past other passengers by a medic, witnesses say.

Theresa Hines, 48, of Carrollton, Texas, collapsed in the bathroom while flying from Dallas to Minneapolis-St Paul International Airport on Monday afternoon.

Her body was removed from the plane after it landed, but passengers said the EMT left her lower half exposed as he dragged her, face up, down the aisle of the Boeing 737, the StarTribune reported.
Hines was exposed to the 150 other passengers as she was pulled down the length of the plane on a portable stretcher, witnesses said.

‘The EMT was out of line on that one,’ said witness Art Endress, 63. ‘Also, the flight attendants could have thrown a blanket on her.’

Endress and other passengers first became aware something was wrong when staff performing a headcount noticed that one of the passengers was not seated.

After not receiving responses from the bathroom, the staff members opened the door to find Hines and called for help, to which a nurse and a doctor responded.

As soon as the plane landed, EMTs boarded and she was transported down the aircraft.

Endress said that a passenger sitting near him said she had tried and failed to get into that bathroom about halfway through the two-hour-45-minute flight.

Ross Feinstein, a spokesman for American, said that staff will ‘of course’ check a bathroom that has been occupied an unusually long time – if they are made aware of it.

Minneapolis-St Paul airport spokesman Patrick Hogan said that Hines was ‘not naked’ when she was removed.
He added that the first responders ‘were focused on trying to save her life and get her in the jetway, where they can continue to try to resuscitate her’.

Endress said that the remaining passengers stayed on the plane for about an hour while resuscitation attempts continued; a tarp was then placed up in the jetway to hide the woman as passengers disembarked.

Feinstein said that once a plane has landed, staff ‘hand over the responsibility for the passenger to the local first responders [and] stand clear of the situation. We let them do their work’.
