airline wouldn't let woman phone suicidal husband/wouldnt make emerg call 4 her. he killed himself
A Wisconsin woman was on a Southwest Airlines flight about to take off from New Orleans on April 3 when she received a chilling text message from her husband back home.
The message read: "Karen forgive me for what I am about do, I'm going to kill myself..."
The woman, Karen Momsen-Evers, told WTMJ in Milwaukee that a flight attendant told her she had to put the phone down to comply with FAA regulations. Evers says even after showing the airline employee her husband's desperate text, the flight attendant "slapped the phone down and said you need to go into airplane mode now."
According to the interview, Evers was not able to call from the plane despite asking again if there was a way for the crew to make an emergency phone call once the flight was airborne.
Evers contacted police as soon as the flight reached Milwaukee, but it was too late. Evers' husband had already killed himself.
