PenAir Passenger Treated for Mid-Flight Seizures
Monday, June 10 2013
Ambulances raced to Unalaska’s airport Sunday evening to meet a passenger who started to have seizures on a PenAir flight out of Anchorage.
Employees at the local PenAir station called 911, and emergency responders met the plane on the tarmac when it landed, at around 10:15 p.m. According to airport station manager Lowell Crezee, the patient was able to walk off the plane. Still, the person was taken to the Iliuliuk Family and Health Services clinic for treatment.
Public safety’s deputy chief, Michael Holman, says the department has no information on the patient’s condition.

Not smoking caused that seizure?

Most disasters on airplanes happen because smoking is not allowed. This person probably just needed a cigarette.
