The couple was flying from Los Angeles to Albuquerque, when Jack Jordan suffered a massive heart attack<\/a>. Wife Caroline Jordan said a physical therapist<\/a> and a hospice nurse on board the plane began giving the 62-year-old CPR<\/a>.<\/span>
A defibrillator<\/a> was on board and could have been a lifesaver if used quickly, but Caroline Jordan claims a flight attendant<\/a> said his chest was too hairy to use it.<\/span>
“I don’t expect the airlines or the flight attendants to be nurses or doctors, not anywhere close, but in that kind of a circumstance, one of the first things they should be doing is getting that AED<\/a> hooked up,” Jordan said.<\/span>
Jordan said they eventually shaved her husband’s chest and put on the device, but by then it was too late.<\/span>
Southwest Airlines said they are looking into the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n
