DETROIT » The FBI says a rowdy passenger on a flight from New York to Chicago was restrained with a belt, necktie and apron after demanding to get off the plane.
United Airlines Flight 3461, operated by Shuttle America, was diverted to Detroit Metropolitan Airport and landed about 8 p.m. Thursday. Twenty-two-year-old Breanna Farquharson of Mount Vernon, New York, was charged with assaulting a crew member.
Her court hearing was postponed today. A woman who answered the phone at a home where Farquharson is listed as living declined to comment.
In a court filing, the FBI says Farquharson scratched a flight attendant’s lip and pulled a necklace and employee badge off her after “frantically” requesting to get off the plane, 30 minutes into the flight.
The plane with 69 passengers and four crew members arrived in Chicago about an hour late.
This is what happens when the Millennials are raised up with a smartphone, instead of a real parent.
A touch of claustrophobia?
Actually all the commotion could have been avoided if they just let her out when she asked.
Absolutely. Sometimes the solution is right there in front of us.
How do you let a person off a plane when you’re 30 minutes into the flight?
With a parachute?
