Horrified air passengers screamed and were left 'traumatised' yesterday when a German husband started coughing up 'litres of blood' in front of his wife before collapsing and dying mid-flight.
The man - who was travelling with his Filipina wife - had got on with 'cold sweats' and was 'breathing much too quickly' before passengers rushed to help him, offering chamomile tea and taking his pulse.
But as the plane took off, his health went quickly downhill. The man was said to have been spitting into a bag when a 'gush of blood' came out of his mouth and nose, splattering the walls of the Airbus A380 aircraft.
The man's wife had initially told cabin crew that her husband was feeling unwell because they had been forced to run to catch the plane at Bangkok airport.
'A flight attendant then reacted and asked him if he was okay, she was very worried,' said Martin's 55-year-old nursing specialist wife Karin, who was sitting with her husband
But when the German was given the green-light to stay on board, Karin intervened and told cabin crew a doctor was urgently needed.
The pilot arrived and called for a doctor over the loudspeaker.
A 30-year-old Polish medic 'with poor English' then arrived, asked how the man was and took his pulse before indicating that he seemed OK.
Martin told Blick: 'They then gave him a little chamomile tea, but he was already spitting blood into the bag that his wife held out to him.'
The plane took off before the man's condition dramatically deteriorated, increasingly spitting blood into a bag - before a 'gush' of blood came out of his mouth and nose.
'It was absolute horror, everyone was screaming,' said Martin, adding that the man lost 'litres of blood' which covered the cabin walls.

“Liters?” There’s normally only about 5 liters in the human body. After losing about 1 1/2 you’re likely to be unconscious and won’t be around much longer.
The man’s wife had initially told cabin crew that her husband was feeling unwell because they had been forced to run to catch the plane at Bangkok airport.
“One night in Bangkok makes a strong man bleed out...”
Deep Vein Thrombosis, that caused the burst?
Sounds like what happened at the end of Rise of the Planet of Apes movie.
Most likely a perforated stomach ulcer or cancer that reached an artery.
