A British Airways flight attendant died after he collapsed in front of passengers just as the plane was about to take off from London. According to The Sun, the flight was about to depart London's Heathrow Airport on New Year's Eve for Hong Kong when the 52-year-old flight attendant tragically collapsed on the plane. The plane's door had already been locked and passengers were sitting in their seats when a crew member, whose name hasn't been revealed, collapsed in the back of the aircraft.
The Sun reported that a passenger trained in first aid tried to save the man as the pilot urgently called for medics. However, the flight attendant died at the scene. The flight was also cancelled due to a "medical emergency".
"Sadly, despite the best efforts of our crew, a patient was pronounced dead at the scene," the London Ambulance Service said in a comment to Metro UK.
