Why do they gotta turn the plane around?
Like, okay, I kinda get being skeeved out sitting next to a dead person on a plane. But it's not like turning the plane around is gonna get them better. Kinda past that point now.
It can be dealt with on the ground at the destination just the same as it can be dealt with on the ground at the origin...so why go disrupting everybody's plans over one dead grandma. Most of us have at least one dead grandma already. I know my dead grandma wouldn't want to make a fuss and would just want to keep her head down and quietly ride the plane. If you put a rosary in her hand, you'd never even know.
Makes sense to me they didnt take off with a corpse smuggled onboard.
