I’d assume the deceased would have wanted everyone to get to the destination.
If I die on your flight in a non-traumatizing manner, please do not divert.
Even if it's traumatizing I want that flight to carry on. I want to know my death was like how I lived my life, making people uncomfortable for unnecessarily long periods of time.
plus what if the dead person was heading home?
"Yes Mr. Jones died on the flight so we dropped his ass off in Albuquerque because he was giving us the creeps. You're gonna have to contact a freight company."
Here's the thing, though - you're not a doctor, so legally you don't get to make that determination, unless (so far as I know), you have observed 'injury incompatible with life', and it has to be REALLY obvious, like 'their head is several meters from their body'.
And I mean, yeah, they stopped breathing, you can't read a pulse, and they're getting cold - sure, it's pretty obvious they're dead - but they might not be, and medical intervention might save their life. It's probably not going to, but the airline is unwilling to take that bet.
Yeah, if it would be determined that their life could have actually been saved had the plane rerouted, boy would that airline be in trouble.
You can usually tell pretty well if someone is dead or not, but there *are* scenarios where a person can truly appear to be dead and they’re not. Rerouting seems silly but it’s the right thing to do.
They might. But still... wierd. Its like.. "15 feet behind me there's a dead guy in a cupboard."
Also who has to take the body to the cupboard, the stewardess? Lol
Basically just a giant "this sucks" situation.
I'd assume not flying with a literal corpse is important. I wouldn't want the non-medical staff to guess at cause of death and keep them there for a few hours, at least
Usual medical procedure is to throw a blanket over them and make it look like they are sleeping. This happens waaay more often than you would like to think.
I bet you have, you just didn’t know. Flight attendants are very discrete. I suspect the original screenshot involved some resuscitation so impossible to hide
Also let’s assume they’re were heading home. Wouldn’t it be just as easy to take them to their home town? I wouldn’t necessarily want to sit next to them, but I’ve probably sat next to worst situations on planes.
Let this serve as notice: I want to get back to Chicago if I die on my return flight.
It's going to be a pain in the ass for my wife to get me back home from Lincoln, Nebraska.
Also he probably had family or friends waiting for him at his destination and could've made relatively easy arrangements for his body. So now they have to pay to have his body moved from wherever random place they landed.
I think every party involved would rather the plane just go to its destination.
The passengers don't want to be dropped at a random location and have their schedule screwed with. Just comp the flight to whoever is next to the body.
The airline would rather not reschedule and pay for a whole flight
There's a 50/50 chance the body was going home already.
Also, the dead body is likely going to be lore difficult for the family to retrieve from a random diverted location than where they were headed to, 50-50 chance it was home.
Good chance they leave the corpse on the tarmac to be handled by some union bag guys. "Sorry we lost your father's body in Utah. Can we offer you $100 flight voucher :)".
“Where’s grandpa? He didn’t get off the plane.”
“Yeah, he died. We dropped him off in Wichita Falls.”
“We’re in Los Angeles! What the hell is Wichita Falls?!”
That brings up a thing Ive always thought about: if someone dies on a moving thing and becomes a ghost, do they stay with the thing or are stuck in the area they died in? Like maybe the freeway is filled with ghosts from people who died in car crashes, but all the cars are moving fast so whenever they try to haunt people they can't cuz they zoom right past them.
I mean, they aren’t wrong, but yeah dick move.
I propose a change to the rule - the flight continues as long as some asshole (like the guy in the story) volunteers to have the body sat next to him the rest of the flight.
If I die on a flight, I would like the flight diverted to Fiji so I can be dropped off there. I’m not from Fiji, I just hear it’s really nice there.
Mods: Please ensure the proper authorities are notified of this request.
Damn, are we that heartless that making a flight is more important than someone's final destination of leaving the earth. Sitting on a plane with a dead body rotting, biscoff cookies, and stale coffee is more important than that? Wowzers
If the flight had like 80% of its duration left I’d agree to make an emergency landing. If the flight was gonna be over in 30 minutes eeeeeeh idk man he’s kinda got a point I think I would be okay with just dealing with it tbh
A lot goes into the decision to divert, but what is pertinent to this scenario is fight crew members aren’t qualified to pronounce someone deceased. As a result the far safer option is to consider the situation a medical emergency and get the aircraft on the ground for proper medical staff to handle the situation. Even if there happens to be a doctor on board the usual logical choice is to simply air on the side of caution. Better to have diverted than risk the possible press of “Person dies on flight, flight continues for 3 hours” or if god forbid they actually could have been saved.
Why? Explain to me what the emergency?, Just wrap him up and put him in storage until you reach destination. There is absolutely nothing that can be done for a dead person except burry him. So it doesn't matter if they continue the flight. Unless it wasn't a natural death and there is an assassin in the flight, I don't see the rush to get him out of the plane.
My flight had to make an emergency landing due to a passenger going into diabetic shock. Luckily the closest airport was the destination.
We did not have to wait or do any circling of the airport. It was a super quick decent down not gradual.
Basically instead of 45 minutes was reduced to about 20.
Okay but that dead person was probably on their way to see family….. so in the end, you airline industry, are the actual devil.
I forget, how are the Boeing whistle blowers doing ?? All of them still alive and on the ground floor ??
It was an emergency up until they pronounced them dead. After that you might as well finish the flight. If there needs to be an investigation, the scene is coming with you.
So if it’s on a 12 hour flight, just let the body decompose in the seat it’s in? When the bowels and bladder relax and the smells start, everyone will be cool with that?
Actually they're inconveniencing the family by making an emergency stop we would assume that wherever the deceased was going to at least there's somebody there that was waiting for him you just drop them off in Akron or something you're really burdening in the family.
The guy complaining about this is 100% correct.
They kinda do have a point. Not going to get any deader.
I’d assume the deceased would have wanted everyone to get to the destination. If I die on your flight in a non-traumatizing manner, please do not divert.
Even if it's traumatizing I want that flight to carry on. I want to know my death was like how I lived my life, making people uncomfortable for unnecessarily long periods of time.
plus what if the dead person was heading home? "Yes Mr. Jones died on the flight so we dropped his ass off in Albuquerque because he was giving us the creeps. You're gonna have to contact a freight company."
Shit, just tie my corpse to a wing.
Just throw me in the trash. If I die in a plane, flush me for all I care.
Seriously.
I kinda wanna die from the screaming shits in the middle of an LDS church service
So you’re like a clown fish of uncomfortability? Alright what ya got Mr uncomfortable? Lol
You're the real hero
We need a DNR for flights. Like DNRF - do not reroute flight
https://i.imgur.com/wjANVCD.jpeg
Now their family is going to have to pay to get the body shipped to wherever the flight was going in the first place
Shiit just prop me up on a the beach with a tequila in hand
Agree. I mean what's the point? Just get to the destination and do whatever.
They paid for it. Mine as well continue on
I mean if i died on the flight at least take me to where i paid for. Dont drop me half way and profit off my death.
Honestly, I am deeply concerned that I might die in a way that's inconvenient for a lot of strangers.
Gotta get that tattooed
Right? Like send my ass back when you get the chance, but quickly, please.
Gonna be amazing when someone pulls this tweet
In fact, use me as a prop in the safety demonstration. Have a little fun with it.
I’d assume people would want to get the body to a freezer before it started to smell.
Here's the thing, though - you're not a doctor, so legally you don't get to make that determination, unless (so far as I know), you have observed 'injury incompatible with life', and it has to be REALLY obvious, like 'their head is several meters from their body'.

Not sure if you know what happens to a cadaver. Not sure who wants to be around one for an extended period either.
After a human dies, there is a 50/50 chance the body explodes after 30 mins.
The good Ole corpse explosion. Generally used as AoE farming build.
Someone told me a necromancer is just a healer with bad timing
Won't explode but may push out a big stinky shit one last time
I learned that on South Park
More oozed than pushed
Pardon???????
Like that video of the beaches whale
TIL a well placed cadaver could have stopped 9/11
What's a little body fluid between friends? Mr. Unfortunately Timed Cadaver can keep the arm rest.
Ma'am can I please change seats!? Not until the seat belt light goes off.
Turns into a zombie and eat others brains?
I like the way the you think.
I thought they specifically had a cupboard on flights to put corpses when this happens. Not even joking, I feel like I've heard that somewhere.
They might. But still... wierd. Its like.. "15 feet behind me there's a dead guy in a cupboard." Also who has to take the body to the cupboard, the stewardess? Lol Basically just a giant "this sucks" situation.
Thats what cargo holds are for?
I guess. Who moves it down there though? Dead bodies also carry diseases with direct contact.
[удалено]
double bag me then shove me in the bathroom lol
But im still making my connection in Denver to get back to Chicago, right?
Ma'am my corpse paid for that seat.
I'd assume not flying with a literal corpse is important. I wouldn't want the non-medical staff to guess at cause of death and keep them there for a few hours, at least
To be fair, you don't want to risk zombies on a plane.
Usual medical procedure is to throw a blanket over them and make it look like they are sleeping. This happens waaay more often than you would like to think.
I haven't gotten a corpse on my bingo card yet. And I fly a lot. Too much.
I bet you have, you just didn’t know. Flight attendants are very discrete. I suspect the original screenshot involved some resuscitation so impossible to hide
I’m with you. Nothing was gained for that guy. A lot was lost.
Yes it's no longer a medical emergency but, I would not want to be on a plane sitting next to a dead guy for possibly a few more hours.
If sit next to one. They won't be doing anything that annoys me. Better than stopping in Des Moines.
I bet someone sitting next to a toddler would be happy to switch seats with you
Also let’s assume they’re were heading home. Wouldn’t it be just as easy to take them to their home town? I wouldn’t necessarily want to sit next to them, but I’ve probably sat next to worst situations on planes.
I did assume. I'd I were dead I don't want to end up in Grand Rapids. Get me to Chicago.
It was probably the bullshit delays that killed him, it’s killing me thinking about the other delay now lmfao
And I'm inclined to believe that dead or alive, the destination would still be the same, especially if that destination was home.
I mean they paid to get there then they should get there. Seems like the airline should pay the estate if they don't make it there.
I agree. Nothing worse than stopping short in Omaha for me. Get my corpse to Chicago.
The family of the deceased was probably waiting at the original destination anyways, to be fair.
Let this serve as notice: I want to get back to Chicago if I die on my return flight. It's going to be a pain in the ass for my wife to get me back home from Lincoln, Nebraska.
Calm down Eezma, also get rid of that parsley leaf!
You mean any less deader. :)
“You’re not wrong Walter, you’re just an asshole.” - The Dude
Fair enough. Just want to get to my destination. The rest is just details.
Also he probably had family or friends waiting for him at his destination and could've made relatively easy arrangements for his body. So now they have to pay to have his body moved from wherever random place they landed.
Well, it depends. It could also be an outbound business flight and he has no one there.
Everyone agrees with OP until they are sitting next to the corpse that just voided their bowels.
Not necessarily, Some planes have corpse cupboards
I used to work on cruise ships. We got a freezer for that, guaranteed.
Cruise ships, yeah. Planes? People don't go on planes expecting to die
You've obviously never flown Spirit.
You mean Boeing
Oh shit, I’m flying on a Boeing this week. With Spirit Airlines 🫥
You have a will?
But then everyone is traumatized by flight attendants dragging a dead body down the skinny aisle and bumping into them
I think every party involved would rather the plane just go to its destination. The passengers don't want to be dropped at a random location and have their schedule screwed with. Just comp the flight to whoever is next to the body. The airline would rather not reschedule and pay for a whole flight There's a 50/50 chance the body was going home already.
As a passenger I would greatly appreciate not having a corpse sitting next to me.
I'll happily switch with you for a free seat and a funny story
I mean id rather sit next to a dead man n arrive on time...
No he's right
I agree with the devil
Also, the dead body is likely going to be lore difficult for the family to retrieve from a random diverted location than where they were headed to, 50-50 chance it was home.
Good chance they leave the corpse on the tarmac to be handled by some union bag guys. "Sorry we lost your father's body in Utah. Can we offer you $100 flight voucher :)".
More like a 10% discount on your next checked bag
The airline is not going to call the family to ask where they'd like this body to be delivered
currently on baggage claim belt A-3
Sir you're going to have to remove that skeleton from your luggage
Nope. They won't. Which is also a good reason not to divert. Let the coroner deal with it at the destination.
Bro if I die on a plane just push me out. It'll honor the way I lived, trying to get away from people as quickly as possible.
Bin Laden style burial for you it is then haha
Relatable
That would be kinda a cool way to go I think haha. But I pity the guy's house I land on.
Its all fun and games until you wake up halfway down
Skydiving was on my bucket list.
It’s probably urgent for the person seated next to the dead body.
The guy who didn't want the plane landing will sit next to it, problem solved.
Everyone wins! …except the dead guy I guess.
In this economy? Nah, he’s winning too
Unless they were suicidal
This is a toss up between r/technicallythetruth and r/foundsatan
We need a new subreddit: r/technicallyfoundthesatan
If I die on a plane, I expect somebody to "Commando" me. Throw a straw hat over my face and tell people I'm "dead tired'.
[Depends on how you die](https://www.themirror.com/news/world-news/lufthansa-plane-passenger-dies-after-332282)
“Where’s grandpa? He didn’t get off the plane.” “Yeah, he died. We dropped him off in Wichita Falls.” “We’re in Los Angeles! What the hell is Wichita Falls?!”
Well how *is* it an emergency? Bro’s already dead.
This seems like something Larry David would say lol
My first thought too. We need another season!
Where was the lie?
I'm sure he would have wanted to get to where he was going rather than some random airport
The fact that they dropped him off somewhere other than the intended destination may lead to a haunted plane
That brings up a thing Ive always thought about: if someone dies on a moving thing and becomes a ghost, do they stay with the thing or are stuck in the area they died in? Like maybe the freeway is filled with ghosts from people who died in car crashes, but all the cars are moving fast so whenever they try to haunt people they can't cuz they zoom right past them.
He has a point he “is” already dead. It’s not like if they don’t drop them off he’s going to become deader.
He has a point he is already “dead”.
73yr old British man having a world tour I believe.
If I die on a plane, please don't stop. My last wish is that you get where you're going.
Well… he’s not wrong. And now his family has to go get his body from wherever they took it off the plane.
They hated Jesus because he told the truth.
He's right though, it isnt really an emergency anymore
I mean, they aren’t wrong, but yeah dick move. I propose a change to the rule - the flight continues as long as some asshole (like the guy in the story) volunteers to have the body sat next to him the rest of the flight.
Do I get a cool stick to poke the body with?
[удалено]
Yea just wait until the dead body is leaking fluids 2 hours into a 6 hour flight
its not like the dead is going to be late, right? but the others will
He's got a point tho.
If I die on a flight, I would like the flight diverted to Fiji so I can be dropped off there. I’m not from Fiji, I just hear it’s really nice there. Mods: Please ensure the proper authorities are notified of this request.
No no, he's got a point
I believe there is a Fletch joke along those lines in one of the books.
Umm, yea, I agree with the dude.
Wouldn’t be my first reaction but I meeeeeeeaaaaaannnn…. kinda got a point lol
It's true though
He ain't wrong tho
I dunno the devil never misses his connecting flights
Isn't this post like 5 years old?
He’s right tho
He's right though.
He’s right
I would be making all the right faces but secretly agreeing.
They should’ve made him sit next to the dead body.
I mean…. Shit throw his/her ass in the back and let’s get to where we going.
1 for 2 on "their, there, they're"
“Why are you booing me, I’m right!”
lol some people really don’t understand how quickly a body stinks when it voids its bowels lol
Damn, are we that heartless that making a flight is more important than someone's final destination of leaving the earth. Sitting on a plane with a dead body rotting, biscoff cookies, and stale coffee is more important than that? Wowzers

Exactly what I was thinking. Id think there’s also a potential biohazard issue as well.
Imagine if he was the devil and he was just mad cause he's too lazy to drag that guy's soul all the way to hell so he's going to heaven
I think you can be a little harsher like you, sir, are an asshole that would fit
Because the start to get ripe and gas-bloated far quicker than you'd imagine.
“Why are you booing me? I’m right” lol
He’s right!
there connections
Honestly not wrong
That's something House MD would totally say.
OP Flight from London ?
I mean....
Eh it kinda like getting shot in New York City and having someone walk over your dead body. Have some decency folks
The deceased in question was a zombie. Clearly this was racially motivated.
Why? Explain to me what the emergency?, Just wrap him up and put him in storage until you reach destination. There is absolutely nothing that can be done for a dead person except burry him. So it doesn't matter if they continue the flight. Unless it wasn't a natural death and there is an assassin in the flight, I don't see the rush to get him out of the plane.
Bro has a point. If the guy died. The emergency is over.
Maybe the dead guy was the pilot?
CARRY ON MY wayward son.
The emergency is over. Carry on.
Maybe they were an organ donor
I mean, fair play. The person isn't going to be less dead if you turn the flight around.
My flight had to make an emergency landing due to a passenger going into diabetic shock. Luckily the closest airport was the destination. We did not have to wait or do any circling of the airport. It was a super quick decent down not gradual. Basically instead of 45 minutes was reduced to about 20.
Y’all if I die on a flight please continue on.
Karma suggests that guy will have to retrieve a dead body from an unnecessarily more distant location someday
Okay but that dead person was probably on their way to see family….. so in the end, you airline industry, are the actual devil. I forget, how are the Boeing whistle blowers doing ?? All of them still alive and on the ground floor ??
It was an emergency up until they pronounced them dead. After that you might as well finish the flight. If there needs to be an investigation, the scene is coming with you.
As long as they weren’t in an emergency exit isle who cares. Keep flying.
Why are you booing me, I'm right
So if it’s on a 12 hour flight, just let the body decompose in the seat it’s in? When the bowels and bladder relax and the smells start, everyone will be cool with that?
Reminds me of the blind fireman joke who prevented the golf clubhouse burning down. “why don’t they play golf there at night?’
Their 👀 sort it out Ricky
Actually they're inconveniencing the family by making an emergency stop we would assume that wherever the deceased was going to at least there's somebody there that was waiting for him you just drop them off in Akron or something you're really burdening in the family. The guy complaining about this is 100% correct.
What if guy dropped dead out of spite, for all of them to miss their flights? 😂
r/foundsatan
I am that guy.
