      Was on a night flight from MCO to DFW and someone had a heart attack! There was a pediatrician and ER nurse on the same flight and they urged the crew to land at the nearest airport
      Fortunately for him, we were already past the TX/LA border so it we didn't have to turn around. They used a tall dolly to wheel him off the plane since it was too narrow for a stretcher. I didn't know that was how you are removed if you can't stand up.

    Nice to have that video. I was a passenger on that A380 that had to return to the gate.
    We got informed by the crew about the other passenger while still at the holding point for 24L.
    The sick passenger left the plane at Tom Bradley and we topped up the fuel for a more speedy flight to Munich. Pilots were able to make up about 30min of that delay.

      Usually not 😊 most A380 are based in Munich and are rarely seen in Frankfurt (and vice versa). Lufthansas' home bases for the 747 is Frankfurt and for the A380 is Munich for easier maintenance reasons. They try not to mix it. So yes, this video is really an exceptional footage 😊

    When I was a flight attendant with British Airways back in the summer of 2009 departing JFK, there was a lengthy ground stop due to storms in the area.
    I believe we were #60 for departure when we joined the line of taxing aircraft. A passenger became very ill and we returned to the gate. This further delay caused us (crew) to time out and the flight was cancelled!
    Those passengers were not happy to say the least. 🤬

    A few years ago I flew Lufthansa from LA to Germany and back. Outbound on a 380, return in a 747. The 380 was fairly new and exciting to fly in for the first time. 747 was also nice but has been flown a lot. I doubt I will fly in a 747 again before I croak so I am happy Lufthansa still flies them.

    I've flown Lufthansa many times over the years, as well as many United and American flights, have flown on the Boeing 747, 767, 777,. 787 and then Airbus A310, A330, A340 and A350, all wide body planes, but never on the A380, yet! My two favorites though have been the A350-900 and the 787, both are mostly composite airplanes. They pressurize them higher and add more moisture in the cabin, I feel so much better after an overseas flight on those two airplanes. One day, I hope to fly on the A380, I was close last year, but they had a change in flights and I missed out.

    @clockdva20 10 місяців тому

    I saw a super rare event, here in Hamburg that Lufthansa and Airbus did well it was two events but not in the sane year. the coolest was Lufthansa flew several displays over the City of Hamburg I think 2011ish just has the then new A380's were starting to come into service. I also happen to live not to far away from the Airbus plant just Across the River Elbe from us.
    We are directly under their approch flight path. So if there is a new plane been proccessed I get to see them flying in or out and I see their amazing transport aircraft daily.
    Anyhow back to 2011 Lufthansa did several formation fly by's with their then newest addition to the fleet and their very first passanger aircraft the Junkers JU52 that was restored by Lufthansa and you could take flights in that legendry early passange plane.
    Saddly the aircraft flys no more Lufthansa had the pull the plug on its vintage aircraft restoration program after its financial issues related to the covid lock down.
    That saw the federal Goverment loan them billions of Euro and them taking a controlling stake in the Airline until they pay all the loan off at which point they will give full control back to lufthansa. Anyhow cut backs had to be made the JU52 as been mothball as a static display in another city other than Hamburg and their other project suspended that was a Super Conny .
    I hope both return at some point in the Future.
    So yes seeing those two in the sky at once was an amazing sight.
    Our 2nd amazing event was when the Main Airport turned 100 years old.
    The celerbrations for the Airport took place at the main Lufthansa techical center found in the rear of the main Airport.
    There they had the transport plane from Airbus well now the old version since it has been replace in the following years.
    They had a few old static early Lufthansa aircraft an old Boeing 707 I think a DC3.
    But they also had two of the Greatest Prop planes that every flew the DC 6 and a Super Constellation both in Private hands one was or both were from the Red Bull energy drink owners private collection. But they were basically parked under each wing of a Lufthansa A380. that was a nice day at their party made better by seeing two rare and legendry Prop planes we even got to see them take off basically one after another at a very busy normal working day at the Airport.
    Now in 2024 no more A380's fly in or out of Airbus here and their final fitting out and painting hangers have been fitted out for a new Generation of passanger planes.
    But my hi-light was the A380 and the JU52 in formation in 2011.
    Something that could only happen once I am guessing.
    Nice to see both the 747 and the A380 in the same space and both Lufthansa owned.
    But also a pitty you did not get your dream video of them taking off one after another.
    But medical emergacy is just one of those events
    Thanks for your upload.
