A fellow passenger recounted the incident, stating, “Bruno went to the loo at the back of the plane during the flight. [We] suddenly heard a shout for assistance which those within hearing distance looked back, including us as we were toward the back.
Bruno was holding a gentleman who looked like he was passing out. I don’t know if he lost consciousness or not. Someone else had seen the guy passing them looking like he might have been unwell.
Members of the crew rushed to the back to help. There was a spare seat at the back which Bruno helped the gentleman to sit down on. He stayed at the back with them and made sure he was OK.
It might have been about five to 10 minutes and then he made his way back to his seat but again very unassuming. He wasn’t looking for any attention on himself.”
The passenger further praised Fernandes’ humility and kindness, stating, “I praised him for looking after the ill passenger. Honestly if you didn’t know who he was you would have just thought he was any other passenger.”
ernandes’ heroic act has further solidified his reputation as a compassionate and dedicated individual, both on and off the field.
