The son of a woman, who lost her life in transit from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Bengaluru in India, has sought the help of social media users to reach out to co-passengers on that flight.
Vikram and other family members of the deceased Ritha Gopal, claim that haven't received a satisfactory response from Qatar Airways about the details of the medical emergency on the flight. They also contended that airline employees had said that they were only required to complete a documentation process.
"While some employees said she (Gopal) had complained of chest pain and was rushed to the medical centre in Doha, another claimed that she collapsed during the flight and died. We don't really know what happened," Vikram told the media.
