The incident occurred a day before a Brazilian airliner crashed and killed all 62 people on board. The ATR 72 twin-engine turboprop crashed into a residential area in the city of Vinhedo. The cause of the fiery crash has not been determined.
Separately, NFL legend Terrell Davis was removed from a United Airlines flight by the FBI in Los Angeles on Sunday. Video footage taken by a passenger and obtained by TMZ shows Davis being escorted off the plane by three FBI agents.
The reasons for Davis' removal have not been disclosed by the FBI. United Airlines declined to comment on the incident, citing customer privacy.
Davis was a star running back for the Denver Broncos in the 1990s, helping the team win two Super Bowls. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017.
It is unclear if Davis was charged with any crime. The FBI has not released any information on the incident.
The incidents involving the American Airlines flight attendants and Davis highlight the potential risks and challenges faced by those who work in the aviation industry. Turbulence and other in-flight emergencies can pose significant dangers to crew members and passengers alike. Additionally, law enforcement agencies may need to intervene in certain situations, such as when a passenger's behavior becomes disruptive or threatening.
The safety and well-being of passengers and crew members is paramount in the aviation industry. Airlines and law enforcement agencies work together to prevent and respond to incidents that may occur during air travel.
