One does require that amount of blood to stay inside the body to live.
Quarantine those other passengers for at least 28 days.
This is very likely due to rupture esophageal varices. They are veins in the esophagus that have expanded due to increased pressure in the portal venous system (the veins going from the gut to the liver). They are mostly seen in end-stage cirrhosis (severe liver disease).
People with cirrhosis should receive intermittent screening with upper endoscopy (looking down the esophagus and stomach with a camera). There are procedures and medications that can reduce the risk of rupture.
Vomiting blood is pretty much always an emergency.

“I have been poisoned by my constituents!”
Topics like this arrose me to no end.
Rude
I’ve heard, mind I don’t remember where, that lesions on the lung can cause the same issue due to change in air pressure. I’ve heard it advised not to fly if that condition exists for a person. Is that incorrect?
Zombie apocalypse!
So beginning of the 2024 plague? Yippee
T-virus is real. Umbrella Security Service has already been dispatched for clean up.
If you get your tonsils removed and then fly soon after against your doctors orders this could happen
Sounds like Cirrhosis…or it could be Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
Makes me think of the charlie scene in always sunny.
I have been the doctor on the plane like three times. Always vasovagal. I would be horrified to deal with this
Why do stories like this have to make the news? It’s horrible for the family of this man.
People are saying this is a variceal bleed but there are many possibilities and there is no reason to speculate (ie, lingual artery).
I’ve seen people bleed out from the mouth lots of ways. Can’t know for sure.
Am ER doc.
hemorrhage plague patient zero
The human body holds around 5 Litres of blood
That one scene in Downton Abbey when Lord Grantham projectile vomits blood at the dinner table 🫣
Eeeee bud dwyer video flashbacks
Maybe he was smuggling drugs and the wrapping tore open inside him?
That’s insanity
Clean up in aisle…1
He saw uncensored Japanese adult films
This is how it starts
That’s metal
Alcoholism can cause this.
I noticed that when flying lufthansa the pressure was felt a lot higher than usual. Maybe it s something or maybe I was tired, but I can see this happening.
Having just finished rewatching Fringe, I needed to take a moment to snap back to reality after reading this.
