Flight attendant attacked

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Yeah, I'm with Mysty. I can't imagine anyone being stupid or suicidal enough to do this on an American plane. I think it's quite possible you'd be torn limb from limb. Especially after September 11 and all the craziness stemming from that.


Why isnt' this trashy sow in jail? Seriously, she assaulted someone. On an airplane. How it it even possible she's not in jail?

[Emmeileia]

Good grief. Even the bride's dad is saying this woman should be prosecuted! I don't think anyone is buying her sob story. How the hell do you fall forwards on someone hard enough to send them to the hospital anyhow? You would have to be falling from a few stories up! Especially, as she was at such pains to point out, as the flight attendant was so much bigger than her.

This story makes me feel ill.

Hen parties are the WORST. I really do believe they should be illegal. On a weekly basis, my bar is invaded by four or five parties, each with horrible t-shirts plastered with things like "Britneys Hen Party 2007". They always arrive on a Saturday as well.

They are rude, disgusting and viscious.

When you say they were "kicked off the plane" was the plane in the air at the time? Maybe the airline gives out complimentary parachutes.

Unless she was the bride and the wedding was the next day, how in the hell does this ruin the wedding?

[myswtghst]

That's just...wow. Pathetic. I know plenty of people who have panic attacks/are claustrophobic (my mom and some of her best friends included in this group) and they all have the good sense to have meds prepped for a flight, so they don't freak out. Plus, none of them have ever had an "attack" that ended with them actually attacking anyone.

Grow up. Lots of people get drunk and do stupid shite, it's just that most of us have the courtesy to do so in our own homes (or the homes of friends, in the case of my Sunday night ), and not on airplanes.

A hen parrty is usual not as fun as a bachelorette party... because they actually normally don't involve alcohol (its what my family does instead) but then those women must have not know that.

oF COURSE some people just anme a party what ever they want.

no no no, let's give them a chance to deploy at least.

Make it made out of lead sheets.

[iradney]

So this woman is saying that, despite dozens of eyewitnesses, she DIDN'T attack the steward, had a "panic attack" where she may have hit the guy, and wasn't drunk??
*checks the BS-Ometer*
Oooh, it's in the red! BS alert! BS ALERT!!

[Chantilly]

I fly quite often and I've seen my fair share of drunken idiots on planes, and I honestly don't know how those flight attendants deal with them without completely losing it!
Personally, I think the complete removal of all alcohol from airports would solve a lot of these "idiot passenger" problems. Ever watch "Airline"? About 90% of all the problems they have involve people that have gotten wasted at an airport bar. Get rid of the airport bars and limit the number of drinks one person can be sold inflight according to the length of the flight and I bet the number of those incidents would go way down, and make the attendants' jobs a lot easier and more pleasant.
(JMO, of course! )

[tollbaby]

geez. I've never run into a drunk person on a plane in my life.... Granted, I tend to fly early in the morning or early afternoon, so that probably cuts my likelihood of meeting one down drastically

That's what I want to know. Maybe the bride's friends are making bad jokes about her and her friend's drunken rampages through the Madrid airport. And to add insult to injury they gave her a shirt that said "Have you head-butted an air steward today?"

[Dreamstalker]

no no no, let's give them a chance to deploy at least.

I'll build 'em! Bedsheets and twine, should disintegrate upon deployment once it gets caught in the slipstream.

Unless she was the bride and the wedding was the next day, how in the hell does this ruin the wedding?

She was probably a bridesmaid, and the lines would not be even if she was in jail and couldn't show up.

Alternately, "wedding" is now a word that encompasses everything from "Will you marry me?" to the end of the honeymoon. If a bride doesn't get what she wants during that time, the wedding is ruined. (I ruined someone's wedding once when I had to work on the day she had decided to look for a wedding dress. My co-worker helped, because due to family issues, she couldn't cover for me. And no, the bride wasn't joking.)
