A 63-year-old man died in a gruesome way on a flight from Bangkok to Germany, when he suddenly started bleeding profusely from his nose and mouth. His wife, who was sitting next to him, witnessed the horrifying incident, along with dozens of other passengers who were screaming and panicking.

The flight, operated by Lufthansa, was en route to Frankfurt on Friday night (February 9), when the man, who was reportedly suffering from a chronic illness, began to bleed uncontrollably. According to witnesses, litres of blood splattered all over the interior of the plane, including the seats, windows, and floor.
The crew members tried to help the man by administering first aid and oxygen, but it was too late. He was pronounced dead on board by a doctor who was also a passenger on the flight. The pilot then decided to make an emergency landing in Moscow, where the body of the man was taken away by local authorities.
The flight resumed its journey to Frankfurt after a four-hour delay, but the passengers had to endure the traumatic experience of sitting in a blood-soaked plane. Some of them complained that the crew did not clean the blood properly, and that they were not offered any psychological support or compensation.
Lufthansa has not commented on the incident, but said that it is investigating the matter and cooperating with the Russian authorities. The cause of the man's death and the source of his bleeding are still unknown.
