When was the last time you saw someone die?

I did, at work, en route to Zurich. It was an old man with heart problems. The heart wrenching part was he did not pass away quietly in his seat. My colleagues watched as he gasped his breathe and collapsed, endured rounds of CPR, woke up to say a few words, then slipped away again.

And while all these was going on, i had to keep up the show and continue with the service, all the time catching glimpses of attempts of life-saving going on a couple of metres away.

So i've been wondering, how would it feel like to be performing almost an hour of CPR only to be told upon landing that the person you're trying to save is already gone?

The quote given was "damn fucked up".

We diverted to Vienna, which was quite exciting. But only stayed long enough for the body to be offloaded.

Finally, as how a primary 5 would conclude his essay, What an experience!
