Comair Flight Diverted/Passenger Attacks F/A (No Charges Filed)
WHAT'S UP WITH THIS........IT WAS JUST ON THE NEWS ABC IN CHICAGO.......WHY NO CHARGES?????
No Charges After Plane Incident
June 26, 2007 - An unruly passenger forced a flight to make an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport Tuesday afternoon, authorities said.
The Delta Comair flight had departed from New York at 4:25 bound for Greensboro/High Point in North Carolina. The flight was diverted to Philadelphia shortly before 5:00 p.m.
According to authorities, a passenger became unruly over service on the plane and attacked a flight attendant. He apparently wanted some apple juice and did not get it fast enough.
Philadelphia fire personnel and medics were initially dispatched to the scene. The aircraft made a normal landing, resulting in the fire apparatus being recalled, but medics remained on location and police were summoned.
Passengers were allowed to leave the plane shortly after 5:30. The suspect was taken into custody, but authorities decided later not to file any charges against him.
The 51 passengers who were aboard the plane at the time will be spending the night in Philadelphia. They will continue on their way to North Carolina on Wednesday.

please I am sure the media will twist the story by saying he was a hero to the passengers that were trapped in the airplane...........*******it he paid $40.00 for his ticker he DESERVES his apple juice, but what he really needs is a kick in the face............I guess passengers feel that becuase management kicks us around know they can too, my....... how the sentiment after 9/11 towards flight crews have changed....................

Charges would have been filed if the crew insisted that this person be locked up to be someone's special significant other in jail. This means delays and if its one last leg going home... well you know the rest.

first there was the "airtran" flight where the unruly kid delayed the flight, and the parents blamed the airline for their kids lack of discipline. Then you've got 4 year olds beating up flight attendants for not getting their applejuice in a timely manner...I'd have to believe it would have been a parent yelling at a flight attendant for their 4 year old not getting their juice on time...but hey, i dunno.
