Subject: Obese woman dies because Airlines couldn't transport her.

http://gma.yahoo.com/obese-woman-denied-flights-home-dies-abr oad-191137549--abc-news-topstories.html

Vilma Soltesz, a 407 pound woman, died of Kidney failure because she could not make it back to the US for treatment, due to her being unable to find a plane she could fit in.

Her husband says the airlines were responsible for her death, since they did not make the effort needed to get her the accomodations she needed.

She was first asked to leave a plane when she could not be secured in her seatbelt, and the pilot was concerned she would be a safety risk if she was not properly restrained during flight. Then she was moved to a bigger plane, but found there were no lifts capable of moving her, and she was unable to even board the plane in the first place. The third time she was again unable to fit in a plane seat, and was again asked to leave out of safety concerns for her and other passengers.

The airline offered its condolances, claiming that they could not find a way to transport her on such short notice, even with the help of the Fire Brigade and Technical professionals.

The husband is not satisfied, and seeks lawsuits against each company that denied her a flight.

What I want to know is why she was traveling like this in the first place if she was in such bad condition. If I had her health problems i sure wouldn't go so far away from my doctors. it sounds like the airlines did everything they could, and this guy is wrongly projecting his grief onto others.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Eh, I find it hard to empathize in this situation. She wasn't going to live that much longer. =/

Butthurt husband is butthurt and should have sought medical treatment in Hungary for his fatass wife rather than harboring old resentments towards the long since dissolved communist regime.

Recon Number 54 -
If they are still looking, then while holding the snarl, I let drool start to drip from my mouth, I stand, curl my fingers into claws and with a hunched over crouch, I then make slow and deliberate steps towards them. When I get close enough, I let them hear my agonized and gasping growls and then, if they continue to stare, when I get within arm's reach? I kiss them on the nose, and run away giggling.

This was posted the other day by Recon...

Still their own damn fault for being that overweight and for refusing to see a doctor because it used to be a soviet state. Doctors are Doctors, they treat patients regardless of their political motivation. (Good ones anyway)

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I asked on Recon's thread, and I will ask here: Why didn't she seek medical help in Hungary? I was just there, and they have as good of hospitals as we. So why didn't she see a doctor when she needed to? The airline does bear some fault here, as she was disabled and some concession should be made for a disabled person, but come on, she could have got help in country.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

That is not their fault that she could not fit in the plane. Airlines can not transport someone that fat. If she was on it, it would have never lifted off the ground.

It's was mostly the woman fault. If she haven't eat so much then none of this would have happen.

Life will always find a new way to ruin everything you know, enjoy the moments of peace to their fullest and prepare yourself for the lemons that are heading your way and you might just make it.

Why couldn't she get treatment there?

  • 11.27.2012 11:27 AM PDT

No thought required, just spawn and GOOOOOOOOOOO

Its a real shame she died, but... Let's be honest here. She shouldn't have been so fat to begin with... The world won't bend over backwards for your gross habits, and you shouldn't be so selfish to think otherwise.

What were they expecting the airline to do, stash her in the cargo bay?

Communists were gonnna get her brah. If she even appeared at the hospital, straight to the gulag she would go.

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

She was first asked to leave a plane when she could not be secured in her seatbelt, and the pilot was concerned she would be a safety risk if she was not properly restrained during flight.
I don't blame the pilot. If that plane hit turbulence she would have bounced around. And might might have punched a giant hole in the side of the plane. Which would have brought the plane crashing to its death. That pilot cares about the safety for his crew and passengers.

You guys DO know that Hungary hasn't been communist since the 90's, right?

According to what I read, they grew up in Hungary during the Communist regime and fled to America.

For some reason, they vacationed back home every year to Hungary (family? friends? probably) but still harbored some suspicion of the current government, even though the communist one has obviously long been gone.
