A passenger is giving an American Airlines flight crew praise for the way they handled a belligerent passenger on the flight from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City. The hostile behavior was documented by one of the passengers and was posted to social media on Monday.
The flight typically lasts an hour and a half, but for passengers on American Airlines flight 1802, it likely seemed much longer.
In the first video that was posted to Twitter by user @FunnyDenny, a man is seen growling, hissing, and chewing his face mask. According to the Twitter user, his actions were directed toward an Asian-American woman who was standing on the plane due to issues she was having with her back.
In another video, he is seen confronting the co-pilot, saying that the woman and her companion "didn’t belong there."
Finally, once the plane landed following the flight all passengers and crew members won’t soon forget, the man is seen mumbling to himself as he was taken into custody.
