I witnessed what seemed like a severe case of hypoglycemia in a passenger a few rows from me while stuck in a plane.

The idea that someone might die because people cannot just listen is somewhat scary.

I saw (just the seat in front) someone taken ill.

The crew left the seatbelt sign on, and paramedics in uniform boarding meant everyone got the message.

People did die on Aeroflot Flight 1492 because they didn't listen to instructions to leave their luggage behind.

There's a lot of doubt about those early reports being accurate.
