Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 02.25.08 | 11:36 AM ET
That’s the suggestion in a troubling story about the death of a 44-year-old woman suffering from heart disease aboard an American Airlines flight Friday.
* Update, 3:30 p.m. ET: American has issued a statement denying oxygen was not administered: “We are investigating this incident, as we do with all serious medical situations on board our aircraft, but American Airlines can say oxygen was administered and the Automatic External Defibrillator was applied.”

Now that the real facts of the incident are out, you notice that the story has been dropped pretty much? Nothing but the aggrieved trying to put his mitts into the deep pockets of American Airlines.
