Nightmare on a Lufthansa flight: A German died on the way from Bangkok to Munich. The plane had to turn back shortly after takeoff.
Munich / Bangkok Airport – Horrible incident on a Lufthansa flight. Like the Swiss newspaper Blick reported that a dramatic incident occurred on board a German airline’s A380 on February 8th.
Flight LH 773 was actually supposed to fly from the Thai capital towards Munich late in the evening. Shortly after take-off, over the Bay of Bengal, the plane turned around, like a flight log from the industry portal flightradar24 shows. The tragic reason: a death on board.

Nightmare on Lufthansa flight: German spits blood and dies shortly after take-off
It goes on to say that frightened passengers demanded that a doctor be sent to the man. The flight captain is said to have asked for one via an announcement, whereupon a 30-year-old Pole is said to have answered. Like eyewitnesses Blick According to further reports, the doctor simply measured the man’s pulse and asked the man about his state of health – and then gave his “okay” for the flight, which turned out to be a tragic misjudgment. As the Swiss newspaper further reports, the man spat blood into a bag shortly after takeoff. “It was horror,” the paper quoted eyewitnesses as saying.
Flight attendants are said to have initiated resuscitation measures – but in vain. The man on board died after about half an hour. He was carried into the galley before the A380 touched down again in Bangkok. The crane airline confirmed the incident to the Swiss newspaper.
