Patty Haugom recounts the compassion and care she received from flight attendants and passengers after her husband, Jim, suffered a fatal medical emergency on a flight from Hawaii to Alaska.
Updated: 32 seconds agoPatty Haugom holds a photograph of her late husband Jim Haugom, 76, a retired MTA lineman, who passed away two years ago on a flight from Hawaii back to Alaska . Photographed on the deck of their Palmer home on Nov. 25."He loved his backyard," said Haugom."He was a gardener." Haugom and his wife, Patty, were returning from a family visit on Oahu and looking forward to the holidays at home.
“The crew was heroic,” Haugom said. “In that little tiny area ... there was four flight attendants and passengers in there, and they had the right equipment. They were on top of it. They never stopped. Even as we landed, they were still working on him.” The long flight over the North Pacific Ocean back to Anchorage was nearing its end when Jim Haugom rose to use the restroom. Their daughter, her husband and their children were seated farther back.
As the lights remained low, a flurry of activity surrounded her husband. Someone started CPR compressions as passengers helped Patty Haugom shield the scene with blankets.
