Question from Russia Today at Putin's press conference: "Americans always say that democracy is great, but now they don't like it after their election? What happened?"

Putin answers that there are problems with democracy in the US, the electoral college is archaic.

So this time Trump and/or Republicans can't agree with Putin?

That looks like a painting.  And is that Gollem on the right?

Oh damn. It looks pretty bad too.

Yeah, apparently it happened on a plane..?  Long time to get to a hospital.

Fifteen minutes before the plane landed.  They're probably just getting ahold of next of kin.

15 minute response time isn't that bad. I'm assuming there a medical team at most airports?

I once got a plane diverted to Albuquerque when an elderly woman got a heart attack while flying to LA. It took more than 15 minutes to land and get her evacuated, and we were told that she had survived.

Response time doesn't matter if you're not getting the most critical thing done inside those first minutes:  getting blood to the brain by CPR.

For cardiac arrest?  That's an eternity, not even counting the taxiing time.  Without CPR you have zero chances of surviving that long.  And I imagine that the plane is about the least convenient place ever to quickly start the CPR.

I'm not aging it's ideal, but someone has a heart attack on the street in the city probably has a longer wait time.

In any regards, I hope she's ok.
