Family sues American Airlines over great-grandmother's death | News.com.au

THE family of a gravely ill 74-year-old great-grandmother sued American Airlines, alleging the cabin crew caused her death.

According to Alicia Marassa's family, during a flight from New York City to Argentina the cabin crew ignored her after she got sick on the plane, the New York Post reported.


They claim the crew ran out of oxygen, then landed in Bolivia and left her.


She died three weeks later.

When did nonews.com.au buy out the NY post?

I also fail to see the link. 3 weeks? That's a pretty long bow!

3 hours, perhaps, but 3 weeks? Damn Litigious americans!

Great article, not.

Excellent cause of action ie. running out of oxygen, not.

Dead person, yes.

Upset family, yes.

There's admittedly not a lot of information in either article to make any sort of adequate conclusion as to the merits of this case.

Certainly pretty poor journalism. Someone is somehow diagnosed ill on a plane, "left in Bolivia" (i.e. like cart a body off a plane and just dump it outside the gate?) then dying three weeks later? More holes in this article than in a slice of Swiss cheese.

The NY Post reader's comments are certainly making a mockery out of the family.
