Distraught wife denied from making a call to stop husband from committing suicide

Karen Momsen-Evers, in her interview with Wisconsin’s TMJ4, said she was on her way home from New Orleans to Milwaukee when she received a disturbing text message from her husband asking for forgiveness for committing suicide. Just when the plane was about to take off, Karen tried to call her husband Andy to refrain from doing anything rash. But the moment she tried, the steward stopped her and slapped her phone down pointing out FAA regulations: she had to go on airplane mode and could not make a call. She then begged another attendant to help her find someone who could call to get help for her husband. Instead, she was asked to wait for two excruciating hours until the plane landed.

“I showed her the texts. She said that there is nothing she could do and that they could not disturb the pilot,” she added to Fox News. “I just wanted someone to go and try to save him.”

Once the plane touched down, she called for help from the authorities but it was too late. When she reached Germantown, Andy was already dead.

Devastated, Karen blamed Southwest Airlines for the actions of their staff to which they released a statement. “While flight attendants are trained to notify the Captain if there is an emergency that poses a hazard to the aircraft or to the passengers onboard, in this situation, the pilots were not notified. The airlines extended their condolences to the family.

Karen’s words after the painful incident were, “The pain of knowing something could have been done, breaks my heart.”
