Passenger: Carrie Fisher 'Wasn't Breathing for 10 Minutes' During Flight ~ amazing movies

Star Wars Celebration 2016 Please stop what you're doing and form a prayer circle for Princess Leia. "Star Wars" icon Carrie Fisher suffered what emergency officials defined to the L.A. Times as a "cardiac episode" on a flight from London to L.A. According to a fellow passenger, she had stopped breathing for "10 minutes or so" during the flight. As of Friday, Dec. 23, around 1:30 p.m. West Coast time, she was said to be in "critical condition."

TMZ was told that Fisher, 60, suffered the massive heart attack about 15 minutes before the plane landed in L.A. A flight attendant reportedly asked if there were medical personnel on board and -- thankfully -- an EMT happened to be sitting in the back of the plane and came up to first class to administer lifesaving measures.

The L.A. Times was told that Fisher "was in a lot of distress on the flight." The L.A. paper was told Fisher was rushed to the hospital by L.A. Fire Department paramedics shortly after noon.

Fellow United passengers shared more details after the scary incident:

I'm in complete shock. @AnnaAkana and I sat in front of Carrie Fisher on our flight from London and she was just taken off the plane by EMTs

@RickMalambri @bradgage no :( she wasn't breathing for 10 minutes or so. They were administering CPR up until we landed

So many thanks to the United flight crew who jumped into action, and the awesome doctor and nurse passengers who helped

Feel weird even tweeting about it but I JUST finished her book and was fangirling out over seeing her dog Gary in person. Gah.
