3. The events detailed are from the plaintiff's lawyers, though.

We don't really know what happened or in what order. Maybe they did call before landing, we have no proof they didn't, only allegations. Maybe he seemed to be doing pretty well and they felt comfortable waiting to release him until all other passengers got off. And he suffered his heart attack in the ambulance, not on the plane, so I don't think this case has any merits, people sometimes just die! Unless they've hired an coroner, and have a autopsy that somehow concludes the reason he died was that 10-20 minute delay, but how could you possibly prove that? He was 62 and likely had underlying conditions. Healthy people don't just faint for no reason, and flight attendants are not nurses. I mean, of course I feel sorry for the surviving family, but c'mon.
