我相信机组人员有尽他们的能力去救乘客!FAA有规定,航前必须检查所有的仪器!而且飞机上有医生和护士!如果有他们在,我们(作为空服)就要STEP OUT.作为空服,我们不会见死不救!而且这架出事飞机好像是A300, 12个氧气瓶不可能个个都有问题吧?新闻也有说氧气瓶工作正常,而且AED和CPR也用了!大家都尽力了!

NEW YORK -- American Airlines on Monday insisted it tried to help a passenger who died after complaining she couldn"t breathe, and disputed the account of a relative who said that she was denied oxygen and that medical devices failed.
The airline said the oxygen tanks and a defibrillator were working and noted that several medical professionals on Flight 896, including a doctor, tried to save passenger Carine Desir, 44, who had heart disease.
The doctor, Joel Shulkin, said through his attorney, Justin Nadeau, that he could not confirm the claim by Desir"s cousin that the oxygen tanks weren"t working.

Shulkin said he found out about the incident when an intercom announcement was made asking for help from medical professionals onboard. Two emergency medical technicians perＦＯＲＭed CPR on Desir, and he tried to use a defibrilator on her, but her heart rhythm was too weak, he said.
"American Airlines, after investigation, has determined that oxygen was administered on the aircraft, and it was working, and the defibrillator was applied as well," airline spokesman Charley Wilson said Monday.
The airline said a total of three doctors, two EMTs and two nurses were on board and offered to help, although some of them may have simply observed.
Wilson also said there were 12 oxygen tanks on the plane and the crew checked them before the flight took off to make sure they were working. He said at least two were used on Desir.
Desir had complained of not feeling well and being very thirsty after she ate a meal on the Friday flight home from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, according to Antonio Oliver, a cousin who was traveling with her and her brother, Joel Desir.
Oliver said a flight attendant twice denied Desir"s requests for oxygen. Eventually, he said, the flight attendant, doctors and two nurses tried to administer oxygen from two portable tanks, but he said they were empty. He also said that attempts were made to revive Desir with CPR and a defibrillator.
Oliver said he then asked for the plane to "land right away so I can get her to a hospital," and the pilot agreed to divert to Miami, 45 minutes away. But during that time Desir collapsed and died, Oliver said.
"Her last words were, "I cannot breathe,"" he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration requires commercial flights to carry no fewer than two oxygen dispensers. The main goal of the rule is to have oxygen available in the event of a rapid cabin decompression, but it can also be used for other emergencies. It is up to the airlines to maintain the canisters.
Flight attendants are trained not to automatically give oxygen to every passenger who requests it but instead use airline criteria to judge when it"s needed, said Leslie Mayo, a spokeswoman for the union representing American"s attendants. The airline did not immediately say what criteria are used.
Wilson said Desir"s cousin flagged down a flight attendant and said the woman had diabetes and needed oxygen. "The flight attendant responded, "OK, but we usually don"t need to treat diabetes with oxygen, but let me check anyway and get back to you.""
Wilson said the employee spoke with another flight attendant, and both went to Desir within one to three minutes.
"By that time the situation was worsening, and they immediately began administering oxygen," he said.
Wilson and Shulkin both said the defibrillator was used but that the machine indicated Desir"s heartbeat was too weak to activate the unit.
An automated external defibrillator delivers an electric shock to try to restore a normal heart rhythm if a a particular type of irregular heart beat is detected. The machines cannot help in all cases.
Wilson said three flight attendants helped Desir, but "stepped back" after doctors and nurses on the flight began to help her.
"Our crew acted very admirably. They did what they were trained to do, and the equipment was working," he said.
Desir was pronounced dead by Shulkin, and the flight continued to John F. Kennedy International Airport, without stopping in Miami. The woman"s body was moved to the floor of the first-class section and covered with a blanket, Oliver said.
Shulkin declined to provide additional detail, saying it was out of concern for the feelings of Desir"s family.
Desir died of complications from heart disease and diabetes, said Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the medical examiner"s office.
FAA spokeswoman Alison Duquette said the agency was closely following the details of the incident.
