7015 miles from Melbourne to Muscat, 12? 13 hours? I suspect a pulmonary embolism may well be the culprit.

Yeah...quantas never crashed. And Kmart sucks
Longest flight I have ever taken was from LAX to Melbourne, about 15 1/2 hours. After 10 - 12 hours your legs start aching and people had to stand up and march around the cabin to restore the blood flow. A 747-400 is a big plane.
A380 equipment cannot land in many airports due to its immense size.
Did he have the fish?
I thought the embolism doesn’t manifest itself until a day or two after the flight.
Why is this news? Passengers have heart attacks and die on airplanes fairly often. Very sad for the families involved, but not particularly unusual.
That’s why I didn’t post in in the News section, but general/chat.
Her is an interesting snippet:
An analogous situation was reported in this week's New England Journal of Medicine -- Sept. 13th. But this involved air travel. The title of the article is "Severe Pulmonary Embolism Associated with Air Travel." It was a study done over a seven year period.. - and it involved 135 million passengers who arrived in the Paris airport. 56 people had confirmed pulmonary embolism on arrival. They were hospitalized, studied extensively and some interesting findings were reported. Source
ORD to Narita.
16 hours.
In coach.
Japanese passengers did not stop talking the entire time.
Still could smoke in the aft galley on JAL back then.
G’Bye mate...
I did 14 hours, Hong Kong to Chicago. Thankfully I was in business class with direct aisle access.
I did fly from London to Johannesburg in economy, 10:36. Bloody awful.
Yep, 13h 10 m. https://flightaware.com/live/flight/QFA9
Poor guy...not the mile high club you want to join. But it probably has fewer members than the other more notorious one.
They didn’t give a nationality but mentioned they treated him out in the open where everyone could see. Perhaps worried about a little “muslime revenge” where helping out earns you a death sentence?
Did he have the fish?
Was there turbulence over Macho Grande?
Did he know obama personally?

Oops! Sorry, didn’t notice.
Atlanta to Inchon (ROK) - 14 hours.
Korean Air flight and crew were great, even in coach.
