Dad-of-seven misses chance at heart transplant after flight is cancelled by blizzard

A dad-of-seven in desperate need of a new heart was left crushed after his flight was cancelled due to the historic winter storm battering the US this month.

Patrick Holland, 56, was given an eight-hour window to fly from Alaska to Seattle so he could arrive in time for a critical heart transplant.

But tragically, his Alaska Airlines flight was cancelled because of the blizzard.
