For the past ten months, I’ve assumed this was the worst story involving plane travel I’d ever hear. But no. Today brings this:
A mother accidentally smothered her baby daughter to death on a flight after she fell asleep while breastfeeding. The four-week-old girl was travelling with her Egyptian mother from Washington DC to Kuwait when the tragedy occurred on November 24. Crew on the United Airlines jet were alerted by the 29-year-old mother’s screams.
Full Daily Mail report here. If you need me, I’ll be at the bar.
Um.
For once, I think David’s response is the most appropriate.
If she’s a Muslim she did it on purpose. /s
Smothered by a tit. I can think of worse ways to go.
oh god no feces-covered crazies for me, please.
too bad the baby didn’t have teeth, I would’ve suggested biting the teet. that would’ve awoken most humans….
as long as you kill your own offspring, it’s a genetic wash.
D: is the only face to appropriately convey my emotions.
Bullshit. No way that was an accident.
Speaking from very, very recent experience the
mother of a four week old gets very little sleep and it is common that they fall asleep during breast feeding.
I’m not surprised this happened. It would be very easy to do, especially in a confined space like an airplane seat.
