    American Airlines Hysteria Aboard

    illustration

    What: American Airlines Dallas to Chicago
    Where: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport
    When: March 9 2012
    Who: 1 flight attendant
    Why: While American Airlines Flight 2332 was on the runway, a flight attendant gave a fifteen minute rambling dialogue on the public address system just before she had a meltdown, and started screeching about the plane crashing. (see passenger’s raw video youtube below.) The fight attendant is apparently bi-polar and had not taken her medication.

    Among other things, she said, “We are not taking off. We’re having technical difficulties. We are heading back to the gate.”

    Passengers and crew cooperated in restraining her.

    Wisely the pilot did not take off with her aboard but returned to the gate and dropped her where she was detained by police. Two flight attendants were injured and hospitalized. (Reports do not say if this number included the bipolar attendant.)

    The 8:25 flight did not take off till 10:00.
