An American Airlines flight from São Paulo, Brazil to New York descended into sheer chaos on April 24th when an elderly female passenger attempted to force her way into the cockpit, allegedly to confront the pilots about a delay.
The scene turned violent, profane, and flat-out dangerous — and was all caught on camera.
According to AEROIN, a Brazilian aviation magazine, the woman stormed toward the front of Flight AA950 just as one of the pilots returned from the restroom.
The woman was forcefully restrained by a male flight attendant who slammed her to the ground after perceiving the act as an attempt to gain access to the cabin.
As she thrashed and screamed, she threatened to kick the flight attendants “in the balls” and launched into a tirade filled with foul-mouthed insults.
AEROIN reported:
The flight attendants witnessed the situation and treated it as an attempt to gain access to the cabin, restraining the passenger and throwing her to the floor. After this, the passenger said: “ Aren’t you ashamed? I’ll kick you in the balls ”, when asked by a flight attendant who spoke Portuguese.
Soon after, another passenger, who was in seat 1D, shouted to another passenger who was nearby and trying to restrain the passenger, apparently calling him Caio, and asked him to stop, but also asked the passenger to calm down, even shouting at her, who tried to justify herself by saying that she wanted to know the reason for the delay.
The confusion continued as the passenger was escorted back to her seat, hurling insults, including homophobic ones, saying: “ You son of a bitch, disgusting, you can’t touch me, you don’t know who you’re talking to, you’re going to get screwed. I went to ask why I was late and this faggot threw me out .”
Other passengers reported to AEROIN that both the woman who tried to enter the cabin and the man who was in seat 1D were removed from the flight along with their respective companions.
As a result, the delay of flight AA950 was prolonged, and the aircraft ended up departing 2 hours and 25 minutes late from Guarulhos International Airport in São Paulo. We contacted American Airlines to find out more about what happened, and the company said that “ On Thursday, April 24, American Airlines flight 950, en route from São Paulo (GRU) to New York (JFK), returned to the gate before departure due to a security issue on board. The safety and security of our customers and team members is our top priority and we appreciate our customers’ understanding. ”
