Stuff like that makes me tear up, every time. I witnessed someone have an attack in a public place once and was amazed at how quickly people with medical training came forward to assist.

As posted above: come on, Carrie!

She's so fabulous. I pray she overcomes this.

It actually becomes second nature. :blushing: We have a tendency to run towards problems.

You're right. We've lost so many greats!

Oh no! I'm wondering how long this happened before touchdown. There's a big difference between just a "heart attack" and "full cardiac arrest". Plus, a tweet said she stopped breathing. Critical condition just doesn't sound good.

Dear 2016,

It's been a tough year, please don't take Carrie Fisher.

Sincerely,

Everybody.

I hope it's okay to share this. It's not MSM but I think it sums up how most of us are feeling.

2:46 PM PT -- We're told when the plane landed paramedics worked on Carrie for 15 minutes with CPR before they were able to get a pulse. She's currently at UCLA Medical Center on a ventilator.

Oh no! This is awful news. Do they have defibrillators on planes? And Ambu bags? Or any basic cardiac drugs in case someone codes like this?

15 minutes before they got a pulse? This is not good. Very sad.

We're told the emergency occurred 15 minutes before the plane landed in L.A. A flight attendant asked if there were any medical personnel on board and an EMT who was sitting in the back of the plane came up to first class and administered life-saving measures.

You can say that again.

I had to go calm myself down, this hit me really hard.
