Flight Attendant Spills Horrifying Protocol For Passengers Who Die In Flight

You’ve heard of Snakes on a Plane, but what about Found Dead on a Plane? A TikTok-er named Sheenie is a part of a main cabin flight crew for a commercial airline. She shares her experiences and answers some FAQs on the social platform about what it’s like to work as an air hostess.

Recently someone asked her what the protocol is if a passenger, sadly, dies while the plane is in flight? The answer is a bit disturbing if it’s true. Her explanation has “horrified” over two million followers and then some.

You would think that if someone expires while the plane is en route, the captain would decide to immediately take action and make an emergency landing at the nearest airport — if not just for the sanity of the other travelers! But that’s not what happens according to Sheenie. In fact, if you can believe it, it’s the extreme opposite.

She explains that if a person is suspected to have passed away in their seat, naturally the crew is going to check for vitals. “So if somebody is already incapacitated, they’re laying in their seat and you know they’re dead and everyone around them is like ‘they’re dead’, we’re obviously going to check for a pulse and all that,” she explains.

“However,” and this is where it gets rough, “if it’s clear that the passenger has died, “there’s literally nothing we can do about it, we can’t start like CPR and stuff, we are just going to, erm, wait until we get to our final destination…. yeah.”

In case you miss the subtext there, Sheenie drives the point home: “So we’re going to keep that dead body wherever they are at.”

In an effort to lessen the trauma and disturbance of other passengers, if there is enough room in the back of the plane, according to Sheenie, the crew will move them there and cover them with a blanket, otherwise the body remains in their ticketed seat.

Someone in the thread asked the most pertinent question: “What if someone is sitting next to the dead body?”

Sheenie’s response: “Then they’re sitting next to a dead body.”

“After we get to the ground,” she continues, “we will de-plane all the people and then medical professionals will meet the plane to get the body off the plane and we will call their next of kin to tell them ‘I’m sorry, but your loved one has passed’.”

Man Arrested for Allegedly Taking a Severed Leg From Crash Site And Eating It

A local California news station reported late last month that a man was being held in custody for allegedly taking the severed leg of a deceased train wreck victim and eating it. Be warned, this is a very disturbing and graphic story.

It happened on March 25 in Wasco, Calif. in a horrible Amtrak train accident a pedestrian was struck and killed and one of his legs was severed.

According to KUTV a man named Resendo Tellez, 27, stole the body part from the impact site.

A construction worker named Jose Ibarra who was an eyewitness to the theft revealed to officers one very grim detail.

“I’m not sure from where, but he walked this way and he was waving a person’s leg. And he started chewing on it over there, he was biting it and he was hitting it against the wall and everything,” said Ibarra.

Caution, the following picture is graphic:

Police found Tellez and he willingly went with them. He had outstanding warrants and now faces charges of stealing evidence from an active investigation.

Ibarra says Tellez walked past him with the detached limb. He describes what he saw in lurid detail, “On the leg, the skin was hanging. You could see the bone.”

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) police arrived on the scene to begin their own investigation.

According to a follow-up report by KGET News, Tellez was known throughout the neighborhood as homeless and non-threatening. A liquor store employee said she knew of him because he slept in a doorway near the business and was also a frequent customer.

Court records say that Tellez took the detached lower limb, “because he thought the leg was his.”

There are also reports that a video exists of the incident. It was circulating on social media, but we won’t provide it here.

The Kern County Sherriff’s office had no follow-up report as of this writing.
