Rant on American Airlines Flight Ends With Flight Attendant in Hospital

[WestVirginiaRebel]

Yahoo News: An American Airlines flight headed from Dallas-Fort Worth to Chicago returned to the gate just prior to take off this morning when a female flight attendant began making inflammatory remarks over the public address system. Greg Lozano, a passenger on the flight, told ABC News "The last thing she said [before they took the mic from her] was 'hey pilot, I'm not going to be responsible for your crash.'" Passengers intervened and restrained the flight attendant before Dallas airport police boarded the flight. The Dallas Morning News reports passengers said police escorted the flight attendant, kicking and screaming, to one of several police cars that surrounded the plane on the tarmac. Passenger Brad LeClear helped restrain the disturbed woman and said she put up quite a struggle, even as she was being held by passengers. "She told me she was bipolar," he said. Bethany Christakos said she heard two flight attendants arguing in an "unprofessional conversation" about whether the flight was going to take off or return to the terminal. She said she will "never forget" the sound of the one attendant's "blood curdling screams" just before authorities took her off the flight. "I will never get the sound out of my head," she said. The airline is treating the incident as a medical issue.
