American attendant disrupts flight to Chicago (terror?)
Chicago Tribune ^ | March 9, 2012 | Gregory Karp and Ashley Rueff

Raw Video (2): An American Airlines flight attendant disrupted a flight Friday morning as it was about to take off from Dallas Fort/Worth en route to Chicago, saying over the aircraft intercom system that the plane was going to crash, alluding to 9/11 terrorist attacks and ranting about the airline's bankruptcy reorganization, passengers said.

Passengers ended up restraining the flight attendant in the plane cabin until airport police arrived.

Two flight attendants were injured in the incident and were taken to a local hospital. No passengers were injured, and they were never in danger, an airline spokeswoman said.

The flight attendant who caused the commotion continued to scream as she was handcuffed by police and placed into a police car, passengers on the flight told the Tribune after they exited the plane at Chicago O'Hare.

"I will never get that sound of her screaming out of my head," said Bethany Christakos of Plano, Texas. "It took a good 10 minutes, it felt like, to get her off of the plane."

"I will never get that sound of her screaming out of my head," said Bethany Christakos...

As she lays the groundwork for her inevitable lawsuit.

"She’ll be a senior TSA agent by morning."

More likely, the newest Dim candidate for office in her district... with an eye toward becoming Speaker Of The House.

“She did sound possesed. Never heard a scream like that on a person”

Are they certain it wasn’t Howard Dean in drag?

Gads! On the video, she sounds demon-possessed, the way she’s screaming.

No kidding. That's no normal voice. Perhaps this particular demon suffered from a fear of flying, and suddenly realized that he chose poorly.

You never know with air travel these days. Passengers must weigh very carefully, the decision to page a flight attendant.

What was that she's screaming in the background? Maybe she just needed some kindness, love and attention.

Reminds me of the Wicked Witch's demise in The Wizard of Oz. It is darn creepy, though.

I agree! (now I see the Wicked Witch of the West in my mind’s eye)

It really IS creepy, though! That’s what made me think that—it’s not “normal” screaming; you know what I mean.

Restraining a flight attendant! This is like giving the finger to Marie Antoinette. Watch for each of those passengers to be charged with lèse-majesté and beheaded, with their descendants put on the no-fly list for life.
