Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack Friday on an airplane ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources say Carrie was on a flight from London to LAX when she went into cardiac arrest. People on board were administering CPR. 

We're told the emergency occurred 15 minutes before the plane landed in L.A. A flight attendant asked if there were any medical personnel on board and an EMT who was sitting in the back of the plane came up to first class and administered life-saving measures.

The plane landed just after noon in L.A. and paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital.

Fisher, who became famous, of course, as Princess Leia from 'Star Wars,' has been on a book tour

Fisher, who rose to stardom as Princess Leia, recently published an autobiography titled the Princess Diarist, her eighth book.

She is the daughter of famous Hollywood couple Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher.

Cautiously optimistic that she will pull through.  I do not know where gate1975 got his info ... but Twitter/TMZ/etc. are still just reporting a "massive" heart attack.  

I read it on a message board from a few posters but perhaps they are just making bad jokes.

Sooo apparently she was targeted in  "Death Hoax"  ... just today moments before she had her heart attack today they reported that she was live and well

On the plus side, she made the age of 60, like I always said, if I died at age 59 ... my spirit is going to be ######! 

 

...please be true....

Update (December 23, 2016, 9:12 P.M.): According to Variety, Carrie Fisher is currently in the ICU—and not in stable condition, as previous reports indicated. “She’s in the ICU and everybody’s praying for her,” her brother Todd Fisher told the trade. “There’s nothing new from the doctors. There’s nothing new at all. … There’s no good news or bad news.” He also indicated that media outlets reporting Carrie’s condition as stable are writing between the lines.”

 

Meanwhile, get your hankys 

 

 

Wow. :no: Hope she pulls through. She's a survivor, and if anyone can get through something like this it'll be her. She'd made a lot of positive life changes in the past few years (diet, exercise, getting balanced mentally, career, writing, speaking again, etc), so for something like this to happen is a real punch in the gut ... *sigh* ...

Maybe she'll stop smoking like a chimney now?

 

She's had a very hard life, mostly self inflicted but 69 is young. If a clean life was hers. it would be unusual but her history makes it no surprise. I know a few years ago she cleaned up her act but the damage was done. Having said that, I hope she is with us for many years to come.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
