Again, British Air is in the news. This time it's not Coanda. Instead, it concerns mortality. Since British Airways has now been in the news twice within a week and a half, I labeled it as follows.
The passenger excerpt: "The corpse was strapped into the seat but because of turbulence it kept slipping down on to the floor. It was horrific. The body had to be wedged in place with lots of pillows."

why BA didn't simply open an exit door in the middle of the flight and toss the corpse to avoid the inconvenience to that poor passenger is beyond me.(But seriously,they should have refunded him).
Yes, a refund would've been appropriate. Another free ticket would have been nice. I wonder how the flight attendents would have handled that, though. Just imagine being woken up on a flight to be asked if a corpse could be put next to you.
Between this and the Northwest guy spooning -- and "spilling a warm liquid" -- down a 20-year-old chick's back between Seattle and Minneapolis, I guess we might all think twice the next time we take a nap on any flight...
Why should BA give them a refund again? It was probably Indian airport employees that dragged the body off the plane like a sack of potatoes to be taken to a pyre.
I do like the juxtaposition with the NWA jerk guy, though.
The Friendly Skies, JJ...

Taranto has the best (macabre) take on this.
