An unknown woman toiled and strived for 40 minutes attempting to save the life of a fellow traveller on a Ryanair flight from the Canary Islands earlier this week.

When a sick passenger had a heart attack at 35,000 feet, this lady who was flying with her two kids responded to announcement requesting any medical specialists on board, saying she'd worked for an airline for a long time.

She then battled to save the man for the next 40 minutes while the plane was diverted to Cork, Ireland, and never stopped even during a rough landing. Medics met the sick passenger upon landing and took him to a doctor's facility, yet tragically he passed away in spite of the travel holy messenger's efforts.

Nobody knows yet who the lady was and there are no data coming out to recognise the unknown hero. Another passenger, Kitty Dollah, told the Irish Echo, 'Because of the weather, when we were landing the plane tilted so much before we hit the ground, the whole plane screamed, but that woman never stopped. Her kids watched patiently, they didn't flicker. The woman inspired me I'll never look at life the same again.'

Ryanair released a final statement saying that the crew helped the customer, and in accordance with procedures, they made a request for any medically prepared passengers to come forward to help the sick passenger and called ahead to request medical assistance on the ground. And the airplane landed normally at Cork and was met by doctors, and the client was transferred to the nearest hospital but sadly passed away. Ryanair extends its deepest sympathies to the family of the deceased and has given help during this difficult time. Ryanair wishes to sincerely thank the passengers in this situation for their assistance and help to their fellow passenger.
