Another Crazy Arse Flt Attendant
2 Flight Attendants Reportedly Injured In Incident On Board American Airlines Flight | Fox News
URGENT: Police are responding to an incident on board an American Airlines flight from Texas to Illinois in which two flight attendants were injured, Fox News has learned.
Authorities said American Airlines flight 2332 had to be diverted back to the gate moments before take-off over reports a flight attendant ranted to passengers over the public address system, saying the plane was going to crash. The crew member also complained about the airline's bankruptcy reorganization, according to reports.
Two people on board the flight from Dallas/Fort Worth to Chicago told the Dallas Observer that the flight attendant had to be restrained by other crew members and passengers.
"We are not taking off," the female flight attendant said as the plane was taxiing on the runway, according to the passengers. "We're having technical difficulties. We are heading back to the gate."
Although another crew member told passengers to disregard her warning, the flight attendant kept ranting about technical problems.
According to The Dallas Morning News, she also referred to the airline's bankruptcy reorganization during her outburst.
"Captain," she said. "I am not responsible for crashing this plane."
The flight was scheduled to depart Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport for Chicago O'Hare International Airport.
The airline released a statement, saying two flight attendants were taken to local hospitals for treatment following the incident.
"We continue to investigate the details and circumstances and will have no further comment at this time," the statement said. "We will ensure that the affected flight attendants receive proper care, and we commend our other crew members for their assistance in quickly getting the aircraft back to the gate so that customers could be re-accommodated. Our customers were not in danger at any time."
The airline said the flight eventually left for Chicago at 9:46 a.m., and is expected to land around noon.

Now THAT'S a meltdown of epic proportions. She's obviously mentally ill and needs some serious help. Hope the other 2 FAs who were injured recover quickly. Also, good for the passengers who helped with a crazy situation.
