A Nigerian, with the moniker, Cashew, has taken to a popular online discussion platform, Nairaland to announce the demise of a fellow passenger on a Nigeria-bound flight.
The Nairalander said he was on Delta Flight 54 coming into Nigeria from the United States of America.
He sent the message at about 2:50 a m today.
According to Cashew who has been on the platform since 2020, a woman developed a health challenge, midflight, which called for the attention of the cabin crew.
He claimed the woman passed away while they were trying to assist her.
He wrote:
“On a flight heading to Nigeria from the United States, we lost a passenger.
DELTA DL 54
We have about 8 more hrs to arrive Lagos.
CPR, prayers, everything was done.
Body wrapped up…
May her soul rest in peace
I am feeling feverish. Really scary, can’t even close my eyes anymore.”
To a question of how he was able to send a message to the platform while in transit, he responded that sending a message was not restricted and that only voice or video calls were not allowed.
Others also corroborated that onboard WiFi could be used to exchange messages, but could not be used to make a call.
