Another coincidence,  for the ignorant few that believe in such.

Not clear how she died, but I assume it might have had something to do with not wearing a seatbelt.

On this one flight from London to Baltimore... man it was severely turbulent the whole time. Not only were most of the passengers absolutely green with projectile vomiting, but because they told us you couldn't walk around some people were getting especially agitated. The flight took even longer because the pilot diverted us around some weather system into NYC. It was a nice distraction for a while but then they told us we all needed to buckle up again.

 

Well this one woman had enough. No one was going to tell her what to do. She was big and hulked over the flight attendant, shouting and being disruptive. Other attendants came over and tried to talk sense into her. Eventually she sat down again, and the attendants took their seats. Soon after the turbulence started, man it was BAD.... and then we noticed the woman was standing up again. Then it happened.. the plane violently shuddered and just dropped straight down. It was terrifying! Standing angry woman flew up into the air, her shoes went flying, her head struck the ceiling and she was flung back down like a ragdoll. Blood started pouring from her head/face. Even being buckled in my seat, I felt like I had been in a car accident for a while.

 

It's not hard to imagine a person dying on a plane in turbulence and there are notable cases where it has happened.

I could see someone hitting just right and breaking their neck.  On an aside, on a flight from LAX to Sydney we had a bulkhead and the FA's brought a lady that was having trouble (airsickness) to lay at our feet.  Luckily she did not lose it while there.

I remember them giving people like paper bags to puke in. Most of them seemed to miss? The puke went flying into people's hair and seats... everything. The smell was terrible and once the plane dropped stuff went flying all over. Never getting on an airplane without Dramamine again.

 

Here's a recent bad flight - 7 people were hospitalized. https://nypost.com/2023/03/02/seven-hospitalized-after-lufthansa-flight-hits-turbulence-forced-to-land-in-dc/

Do most airlines even stock puke-bags in the seat pockets any longer?

Puke-bags cost money and add weight.

 

Those that I've seen in recent years have been plain white.

They used to have the airline's name, logo, or both on them.

 

Years ago, one said, "You probably won't need this bag for its intended purpose, so why not use it to take some of our delicious airline food home to Bowser?"

 

Another merely said, "After use, fold tabs toward you."

 

There is nothing quite like reminiscing about airline puke-bags.

I had a co-worker years ago that collected empty barf bags.

I too have such a collection, deeply up-boxed somewhere.

I think sometimes pilots fly into that for kicks and grins. They can have massive egos and twisted senses of humor

They fly into puke-bags?  Aren't the planes a bit big for that?

probably a way to get back at car salesmen for price markups.

I can find about 7 since 1980, and two of those died weeks after the event.  This one is the first since 1997 during a brief web search.   Typically it's just injuries, not deaths.
