Northwest Airlines apologizes for deplaning Muslim immigrant
May 21, 2003:
Harris Khan, 28, a Pakistani immigrant, who was removed from a Northwest Airlines flight three months after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, allegedly because he looked Middle Eastern, received an apology and monetary damages from the airline in a settlement. As part of the agreement, believed to be the first of its kind in the country, the airline also agreed to train the pilot about the importance of civil-liberties protections for passengers.
That is so sweet. I hope all that sensitivity training they give to pilots pays off then their flights go down in fiery explosions.
