Stewardesses have a thankless job. Dealing with rude and sometimes violent passengers. Then there's the turbulence. The long hours walking thousands of steps in the sky, pushing and pulling trolleys in a metal tube. Putting up with being objectified by leering passengers who rather fantasize having them instead of coffee or tea. And having to do it with a lipstick-perfected smile, looking crisp in a uniform while wearing heels, even if it's thirteen hours into a shift.
They can also add Death as another downside to the job. Statistics suggest being a flight attendant is a relatively dangerous occupation compared to many careers, having comparable injury and mortality rates to occupations like police officers and construction workers.
If you are one of those pervs that secretly wanks off to photos of pretty stewardesses all dolled up, do yourself a favor and picture one lying mangled on a morgue slab in a tattered and stained uniform, because it's happened before and bound to happen again. Sorry to shatter that fantasy of perfection.
This forum is dedicated to the many ways flight attendants have met their end on the job, or just going on- or off-duty - from terrorist killings to accidents to sudden death, in other words, those who have joined the Mile High Dead Club.
It will be periodically updated with new cases.
CASE 1 El Al stewardess gunned down in August 1978
Aftermath of the incident (photos taken during crime scene investigation).
The attack happened around 1:30 pm August 20, 1978 outside the Europa Hotel just as the bus taking the tired El Al crew to their hotel after their long trans-Atlantic flight.
Investigators in the area cordoned off by police tape behind the bus, where the body of the stewardess killed and sole civilian fatality in the attack is lying, having been pronounced dead at the scene. Her body will be taken later that night to the morgue. A postmortem exam was carried out two days later, prior to repatriating the stewardess's body.
CASE 1 continued...
Repatriation of the stewardess's body:
Honor guard of fellow stewardesses (note their orange uniform - the victim would have been wearing this style of uniform when she was killed):
