I don’t really know how to start this but here goes. My planned flight on Sunday had a medical incident on board soon after takeoff. I knew it was not good as they came to the back of the plane to get an AED and we were told we were returning to Edmonton as there was a medical emergency. They also asked for any paramedics or firefighters to come forward which is a serious situation. Once we land, we are told to remain seated and allow paramedics to do their job. After a few minutes, they leave with the person on the stretcher and 5 minutes later we are asked to deplane. Once off the plane, there is a Police Officer there and I just know it was not a medical emergency anymore.
We waited for about an hour before they told us our flight was cancelled and we would need to rebook. This is where it hit me. There were people cursing and getting really upset by this and I do understand to a point but someone had jus died on that plane. How do you think the family of that person feels. So it is an inconvenience to you, but you get to carry on with your life and you just need to rebook a flight.
In all the flights, I have taken, this was the most serious thing that has ever happened. And it made me realize that all the things I am stressing about lately are really minor when you think about it. So I haven’t practiced my forms enough, I haven’t finished that work project yet, my plans have to change now. At the end of the day, I still get to work on these things and still get to see the people close to me in my life. Just remember that life is short and you never know when it will be your time to go.
