Location: Onboard a transatlantic flight from the USA to Manchester, UK (2003). 🇬🇧
Story: During a flight in 2003, passenger Dorothy Fletcher suffered a severe heart attack at 35,000 feet. With no hospital nearby and only basic medical supplies, the situation was critical. The crew made an urgent call: "Is there a doctor on board?" 🗣
Twist: Instead of one doctor, fifteen stood up all cardiologists. They were traveling together to a medical conference in the United States. This team of specialists quickly stabilized Dorothy using the plane's limited equipment. The flight was diverted to North Carolina for an emergency landing, where she received further treatment. Dorothy later called herself "the luckiest woman in the world." This remains one of aviation's most extraordinary coincidences a cardiac emergency met with an entire team of heart experts mid-air. ✈
