Passenger dies mid-flight after liters of ‘blood erupts from his mouth and nose’

A passenger on board a Lufthansa flight from Thailand to Germany died Thursday, after his fellow travelers watched in horror as blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

The unidentified 63-year-old German man was seen boarding the Airbus A380 in Bangkok shortly before midnight visibly sick, with “cold sweats” and “breathing much too quickly,” Karin Missfelder recounted to Swiss German outlet Blick.

At first, she said, his wife claimed they had to rush to catch the flight — which is why he wasn’t feeling well.

But after watching the man for a few moments, Missfelder — who is a nursing specialist at University Hospital in Zurich — said she informed a flight attendant that he needed to be examined by a doctor.

Not much detail. But my first thought was why didn't they put the passengers up in a hotel or something until the cause was determined? Because reading the article as is, the first thought in my mind was hemmoragic fever.

Sounds like Ebola

Ebola?

Didn’t Tom Clancy write a novel with this premise? I recall a plot involving an Iranian doctor infecting a nun to spread a disease.

Wuhan Hemorrhagic Fever by way of Bangkok,

In Thailand? It’s a long way from Africa to Thailand, and Ebola is a disease that doesn’t stay dormant for very long, IIRC.

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can’t be too careful with your company
I can feel the Devil walking next to me

Esophageal varies from cirrhosis of the liver?

Varices. Ignorant auto correct

Sounds like abdominal aortic aneurysm - the body’s main artery from the heart burst, causing massive internal bleeding in the abdomen.

Checkmate .

No.

Older guy out of shape

Rushing thru the airport to get to a flight

Sweating hard, body blood pressure way up

He burst a major artery

[Secret Agent Man]

Exactly

Vaxxident?

That would be my guess, because I’ve seen it happen.
