Plane diverted after passenger attacks crew
More than 200 British holidaymakers were expected to arrive home nearly a day late this morning after their plane was forced to make an emergency landing when a passenger attacked a member of the cabin crew. Passengers on the flight from Cancun, Mexico, were said to help flight attendants restrain Rafal Krawczyk, a Belfast resident, after he apparently became violent after drinking.
The Boeing 767 made its unscheduled stop at Sanford airport in Florida on Saturday night. A spokesman said: "A passenger apparently had too much to drink. He got into an argument with the passenger sitting next to him and got quite aggressive. He went to the toilet and started a bit of fuss and started to smash the toilet up. Three crew members with the help of some passengers managed to control the gent and keep him down. The captain took the decision for the safety of all passengers to take the aircraft into Sanford.”
Last night the FBI said that Mr Krawczyk had been charged with interfering with a flight crew. He is due to appear before the federal courthouse in Orlando tomorrow.
Unit 6. Medical care on board
30 Exercise 1
1. First Aid
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Attention, please!
If there is a doctor on board, will he or she, please, contact a member of the cabin crew?
There is a request for a doctor. Thank you.
2. First Aid is the immediate and temporary proper aid provided to a sick or injured person until medical treatment can be provided. It generally consists of series of simple, life-saving medical techniques that a non-doctor or lay person can be trained to perform with minimal equipment.
31 Exercise 2
Medical care in air
Every year millions of people get on an aircraft to fly somewhere. With this many people travelling there is a high chance that a few of them will need medical attention of some sort during their flights.
As part of their duty of care to passengers cabin crews must be able to deal with any medical incident calmly, efficiently and effectively. Most cabin crew are not professionally trained nurses, therefore the training they receive must equip them with the right skills and knowledge to ensure they can deal with any medical incident while on board the aircraft. that cabin crew re
In Europe, Joint Aviation Regulations set out the medical training required for cabin crew. The regulations state that training should include the physiology of flight, including oxygen requirements and hypoxia; medical emergencies from choking to childbirth, epilepsy, heart attacks and stroke, to asthma, air sickness and diabetes; basic first aid training, which should cover unconsciousness, burns, wounds, fractures, and soft tissue injuries; practical cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with regard to aeroplane environment; and the use of appropriate aircraft equipment including first aid kits and oxygen.
All airlines must have a duty of care to their passengers. But when it comes to medical care in the air, the airlines are not making doctors or nurses out of cabin crew. It's about teaching them what resources they might have.
