“We can’t just simply accept it”: American Airlines Passengers Stop Aggressive Man Delaying Flight
A disruptive passenger on an American Airlines flight had to be escorted off the plane after yelling antisemitic slurs and causing a 30-minute delay after engaging in a physical altercation with other flyers.A man aboard American Airlines Flight 2506, set to fly from Tampa International Airport to Philadelphia, USA, ended up being put in a headlock on Tuesday (March 19).
Causing a half-hour delay, the man kept on yelling “ki*e” at a flight attendant, which is an extremely offensive word for a Jewish person, according to the Cambridge Dictionary.In a statement, American Airlines told the Daily Mail: “Prior to [the] departure of American Airlines flight 2506 with service from Tampa (TPA) to Philadelphia (PHL), law enforcement was requested to the aircraft due to a disturbance in the cabin involving a disruptive customer.
“We thank our team for their professionalism and apologize to our customers for the inconvenience.”
A man who goes by “Joe Has Dementia,” notable for being quoted by controversial right-wing political commentator Tucker Carlson, took to his X page (formally known as Twitter) to share videos of the altercation.
The clips showed the moments leading up to the man being escorted off the plane and began with the culprit standing in the middle of the aisle as other passengers looked on.
“I will universally, publicly, mess you up,” the disturber exclaimed before turning to a male flight attendant.
A woman could be heard in the background saying: “Get off the plane.”
