Karen Momsen-Evers had just boarded a Southwest Airlines flight from New Orleans to Milwaukee when her husband texted her that he was going to kill himself. According to Fox News, she showed the text message to a flight attendant, but he pushed her cellphone aside and told her to put it in “airplane mode” 
because of “FAA regulations.” After the plane took off, she asked another flight attendant if the pilot could make an emergency call from the cockpit, but was told the pilot couldn’t be disturbed, and was offered a drink. By the time the plane landed and she called police, her husband was dead.
