Washington PostCannot get this article to copy/paste. Summary: a female passenger on a flight suffered an apparent heart attack. The pilot declared emergency and asked for priority landing, but air traffic control delays caused a 19-minute wait for the airplane to land.
"Sources said the pilot was extremely upset, and that one investigator reported the pilot telling the controller: 'You did a good job. She's dead.'"
