The flight of the Hawaiian Airlines baffled after the death of the hostess

A Hawaiian Airlines flight from Honolulu to New York was diverted to San Francisco after the death of a flight attendant who died of a heart attack, officials said Friday (Saturday, local time).

The Hawaiian Airlines flight 50 landed Thursday night after a crew member had "an alleged heart attack," said the San Francisco airport spokesman , Doug Yakel.

Medical personnel attempted to perform CPR during the flight, but suspended their efforts before landing. The San Mateo County coroner said the crew member died on his arrival, Yakel said.

Hawaiian Airlines spokeswoman Ann Botticelli said that Emile Griffith had been with the company for 31 years.

"Emile loved and appreciated his work in Hawaii and always shared it with our guests," Botticelli said in a statement.

The airline has provided tips to Griffith's colleagues, she said.

The plane was carrying 253 pbadengers and 12 crew members when it left Honolulu on Thursday.

Pbadengers who landed in San Francisco five hours after takeoff were boarded on other flights, Yakel said.

Andrea Bartz, who was flying to the John F. Kennedy Airport, said on Twitter that the team had made an announcement asking a doctor to go first clbad and then go on a flight. help in case of medical emergency.

Bartz tweeted that "a lot of doctors came forward" and that police officers came aboard after landing the plane.

Bartz refused to be interviewed. But she and another pbadenger complained on Twitter that the airline had broadcast ukulele music during the emergency.

"Hawaiian Airlines still plays on the original ukulele / vocals soundtrack for embarkation and disembarkation, and I tell you, it does not make anyone calmer," she tweeted.
