Husband, 63, dies beside his wife when 'litres of blood' shoot out of his nose and mouth all over the interior of the plane in front of screaming passengers flying from Bangkok to Germany
daily mail ^

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.

Disease X ?

No. That's just what happens when countries go metric.

"...because they had been forced to run to catch the plane at Bangkok airport."

Sort of like OJ Simpson running thru the airport. Except, OJ's wife was the one spitting up blood...

Sounds like a burst artery in his stomach or lungs

How was that whole plane NOT quarantined upon landing until the cause of death was determined?

I hope everyone, including the plane, are completely quarantined until they figure this out.

Ruptured ulcer...

That is my first impression too. Perforated peptic ulcer. Causes a ghastly scene. Looks like a massacre.

God help us that is what it sounds like. And God have mercy on those passengers because this sucker is contagious! I wonder if they all went into quarantine just in case? If not, the world is screwed.

“It was absolute horror, everyone was screaming,’ fellow passenger Martin Missfelder, 53, from Zurich, Switzerland, told Swiss outlet Blick.”

Reminds me of a time a man in our MICU had esophageal varices, which are varicose veins in an esophagus, typically secondary to liver cirrhosis. They are characteirzed by EXPLOSIVE and projectile bleeding, due to backed up venous blood flow impeded by a hardened liver. The poor patient splattered the wall, a good 12 feet away.

I don’t know if that’s this guys problem. But I’ll never forget that experience.

Went through something similar when my gall bladder blew out.

It wasn’t blood.

Well, it doesn’t look like we have to worry about Biden anymore.
