A video posted to TikTok, with nearly 70,000 likes and over 2600 comments, appears to show a woman being removed from an aircraft as she argues over the politics of Morocco, and U.S. relations towards the North African nation. Of all the things to be kicked off a flight for!
She grabs and nearly tackles the employee taking her bag off the aircraft and proceeds to lecture employees on Morocco.
The story made the rounds initially when the incident first occurred. The woman doesn’t necessarily deserve her second 15 minutes, but for some reason it took an inordinately long time for video to surface. Since so many readers asked ‘where’s the video’ Ms. McClinton gets a second round of attention. In all likelihood it will be her last.
On Monday a frustrated passenger on Thai Vietjet’s flight VZ305 from Phuket to Bangkok decided to unload some steam and muttered “I think this airline should be bombed” as the gate agent checked his boarding pass.
A deleted scene from the sitcom Friends offers a pretty good reason why he shouldn’t have been arrested for this.
Here’s my question. If these rappers are really as big as their swagger suggests, would they be flying Emirates – an airline dedicated to bling – in economy?

Since she refused to leave the aircraft ‘unless he was removed also’ the entire plane was offloaded. She got off last, and was taken into custody. She is claiming discrimination and has sought assistance from the Council on American Islamic Relations.
United Express flight UA4332 from Jacksonville, Florida to Houston diverted to Mobile, Alabama last Thursday when a 25 year old passenger on the CommutAir plane ‘became disruptive’ and stripped down to her underwear according to the airline.
A man and his son were flying from Larnaca, Cyprus to Mancester, U.K. on British holiday airline Jet2. The father became aggressive with another passenger after being asked to wear his face mask. The men yelled at flight attendants and followed them into the galley, threatened to drag one of the cabin crew off the plane and also to urinate on other passengers.
And it all started out over a flight attendant’s meal – that the man’s son supposedly stole and ate.
Eve Marie is a Southwest Airlines A-List member and companion pass holder. She also identifies herself as a Playboy Playmate. She reports being removed from of a Southwest Airlines flight on Thursday because her top was deemed too revealing.
She was eventually allowed to fly – but only when she covered up with clothing lent to her by a crewmember. Not she’s calling for change at the Dallas-based carrier.
Kylie Jane Kremer who runs a Political Action Committee called Women for Trump took to twitter to complain that American Airlines wouldn’t let her bring her carry on bag onto her flight to Atlanta, enroute to a Trump campaign rally. She thinks the reason why had nothing to do with available overhead bin space on her regional jet – but because of her Melania Trump hat.
On Friday evening’s American Airlines flight AA2205 from Dallas Fort-Worth to Miami a passenger reports that a woman got up from coach and moved into first class on the Boeing 777-200 in order to sit with a friend while the plane was still boarding. She hid in the friend’s seat.
The aircraft was completely full, with every seat taken. So a flight attendant noticed that while the plane was taxiing out a passenger was missing from their seat in back. There was “a purse sitting in the seat” and passengers around the empty seat reported that a woman had gotten up and left, never to return.
