“I spoke to her husband afterwards and just said I’m so sorry,” one of the heroic passengers, who requested anonymity, told the outlet.

“We tried everything to keep her alive.”

The valiant passenger, who was flying with his wife, daughter and son-in-law, said he launched out of his seat when the pilot and flight crew asked for assistance. He recalled staffers providing an oxygen tank and defibrillator while he, the nurse and a physiotherapist tried to save the doomed traveler.

“We tried our best, but she died onboard the plane,” he added.

“When we landed, police, paramedics and the CID team came onto the plane before we all got off.”
