Leonardo Krys : ウィキペディア英語版 | Leonardo Krys Leonardo Krys was a travel agent whose 1991 heart attack aboard a Lufthansa flight prompted U.S. based airlines to install Automated External Defibrillators, or AED, on their planes. == Heart attack == On November 30, 1991, Krys boarded a Lufthansa 747 in Miami, headed to Frankfurt, Germany. About an hour out, he suffered the symptoms of a cardiac infarction. The crew did not make an unscheduled landing and landed in Germany after a 10 hours flight. Upon landing, the plane was met by an ambulance which transported Krys to a hospital. At the hospital, the doctors concluded that Krys had indeed suffered a heart attack. Krys and his wife argued that Lufthansa's crew acted negligently in responding to the symptoms displayed by Mr. Krys and thus aggravated the damage to his heart. They won a lawsuit against Lufthansa in Miami federal court which the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld.〔http://vlex.com/vid/krys-rebeca-lufthansa-german-airlines-36137815 Leonard Krys, Rebeca Krys, His Wife, Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. Lufthansa German Airlines, Defendant-Appellant., 119 F.3d 1515 (11th Cir. 1997)〕 Later the United States Supreme Court refused to hear the airline's appeal arguing that the incident should have been classified as an accident, per the Warsaw Convention, capping his payout. The result of this suit prompted the airlines to review their safety manuals, including portable defibrillators and training the crew on how to use them.
