Boarding a plane, trying to get home from vacation. It's already 11, I'm not gonna get home until 1 am. I'm like the last person to board. Suddenly people are yelling for a medic down the tunnel. I instantly know I am fricked. I just spent 5 days in Dutch harbor because a fricking eagle got sucked into a plane turbine and then weather rolled in. I am sick to death of fricking airports.
Police and ambulances show up outside. I go to the bar and start talking to some really drunk dude. Eventually more people from the flight shows up and the drunk guy asks what the heck happened and this dude is like "bro I don't want to talk. She died in my arms." He's being all intense and weird about it because apparently he's never seen someone die before.
I guess they somehow had an allergic reaction in a fricking airplane, God knows why. What pisses me off is if they had died ten minutes earlier I would be flying home. Or ten minutes later we would be in the air and I would be on my way there.
Now I'm not going to get home until 6 fricking AM, and my sleep schedule which I just fixed is completely destroyed.
Why the frick do people have to be so god darn inconvenient when they die? What a b-word.

They would 100% divert to some regional shithole airport in the middle of the route and strand you there sorry

I can absolutely be sure you're wrong. People know they can act out over a death and passengers would dig in for emotional distress gibs over having to spend an hour on a flight with a corpse.
Your attitude, which I and the overwhelming majority of people would share, would be booed down for being heartless and insensitive.
Everything about death, funerals, memorials, obituaries is totally performative and meanwhile we all know, deep down, the way that morgues operate but we bury that information and pretend we never saw it.

Lovecraft had a very funny short story about that: https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/iv.aspx
