aisleman,
"sorry to bore you - the death of a person, albeit just a SLF. I wonder if the reaction would have been the same had it been a crew member? "
It would not have mattered who it was, passenger or crew. The fact is there was a medical emergeny and it was dealt with as quickly and efficiently as we could deal with it.
I can tell you that there was not one controller who left work last night that was not sadened by the news that the passenger had died in the end.
My thoughts, and I'm sure the thoughts of all those involved yesterday, go out to the family and friends of the deceased.
