That's rough...My condolences to all as well, and that must have been a difficult scene to see unfold before your very own eyes.
The year before Covid (August 2019, to be exact), we all took a family trip (all of us cousins and nieces and nephews) to Florida (Orlando) for a week. I flew out of Vegas with my brother, sister-in-law, and oldest nephew. As is usually the case, I sat separately from them on the flight (they ended up sitting a handful of rows behind me - I don't remember how far back). In the middle of the flight, an old lady sitting directly behind me had some sort of a medical incident, and either completely passed out, or nearly passed out - I can't quite recall. Thankfully, and as a result of the efforts of the flight attendants, a handful of passengers on board with a medical background (my brother being one of those individuals), and all of the resources they had available to them on the aircraft, they were able to stabilize the old lady to the point at which she was comfortable enough to last through the remainder of the flight. I recall that she refused medical attention as soon as we landed, ended up walking off of the plane by herself, and was spotted (by my brother) walking around in the baggage claim area.
I hope she didn't face any major issues from that incident, but that is one I will always remember because it happened, literally, right behind me.
