It was during this cleaning process that he discovered the disturbing truth – the substance on the floor was, indeed, blood.
He wrote, "I took out my backpack from under the seat and the strap was soaked in blood too. I got on my hands and knees and cleaned for half an hour. The (Air France) staff gave me gloves and more wipes. Then they casually noted a passenger had haemorrhaged on a flight before ours."
