Flew back from SFO to HND on Thursday (PST). About 3 hours into the flight, announcement asking for a doctor or nurse to assist in a medical emergency.
\nThis requested was repeated several times, with Cabin attendants running back and forth. <\/p>\n
About half way over the Pacific, the pilot announced we will land in Anchorage due to the medical emergency.
\nFlew back (1.5hours) to Anchorage, medical team boarded the plane, took the patient and it took several more hours to fuel, get approval for revised flight plans. <\/p>\n
Landed in Haneda at about 1AM, 6 hours after the planned schedule. As there are no public transportation at this time, we received a commitment to repay expense up to 10,000 yen. <\/p>\n
Now, what I did not write in this post is the emotions and feelings during the flight, medical team boarding the flight and result. <\/p>\n
As we were leaving the plan, a foreign (American?) woman, stopped and hugged several of the cabin attendants with tears filling their eyes. <\/p>\n
I hope I will not forget this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
