“Pit” stop in Curacao
Seated on 11D KLM flight 0744, 11pm Lima time. Five hours have passed since the journey started and the captain decided to take a detour to drop a passenger to the hospital. I saw her fading for the first time about half an hour after the flight departed. For a moment I thought everything will be fine soon and it was only a kind of altitude sickness. However, half an hour later, the flight attendants called for doctors from the passengers. Now, this is serious. They took about one hour to request for professional medical assistance while the young lady couldn't even stand on her feet. Curiously, I was reading the insurance card I got for this trip, which only serves me when am overseas. Interesting also, how I chose this seat instead of the 24B I was assigned at the beginning. As I heard once, it is a contagious thing, so no long after the fading, another passenger, a lady again, was feeling sick and oxygen was brought to her. Now I am just watching everybody around, smells are strong (yuck), it is about 32 Celsius outside, people are talking about the incidents in different languages, French on my left, Italian on the right, Vask (?) behind me, while a Peruvian lady is sleeping with her mouth wide open. I would love to steal her newspaper as they only allowed me to pick one and I picked “USA Today”...wrong choice.
