Video Of Lady Being Removed From US Airways Flight

The below isn’t suitable for work, so if you’re easily offended don’t watch the video or read on.

A video was uploaded to YouTube today of a lady being removed from last night’s US Airways flight from Philadelphia to Lisbon, US Airways 738:

First of all, I love how the little girl is covering her ears,. Second of all, do we know who the guy in the white shirt is that physically removed her from her seat? Is he a cop not in uniform, or?

Via Reddit, here’s part of the backstory:

She came on the plane yelling and swearing about how we are going to Portugal and not Brazil. She continued being loud and obnoxious and I’m assuming that some of the families with younger children told the flight attendants, who then called the police. When the police came, she refused to move, started screaming at them and telling them she would sue, and when they told her she would be arrested if she didn’t cooperate that just edged her on more.

I’m not sure I totally follow the first part. Was she trying to go to Brazil instead of Portugal, was she yelling Portuguese slurs (is that a thing?), or what?

Seriously, how do people think this is going to end? “Maybe if I cuss enough and call everyone racists and bigots they’ll let me stay on the plane?”

@zach I flew this route round trip in June. The 757's actually weren't horrible in the seat pitch dept. IFE (if you can call it that) is on big old crt monitors hanging off the ceiling. Food was edible but not in anyway pleasing. Crowd was "interesting" to say the least. But it was relatively on-time and safe and I only paid $310 for the RT thanks to a mistake fare so can't complain.

The guy in the white shirt is a FAM (Federal Air Marshall). This all started because the lady was sitting there with a black jacket over her head and it appeared she was drinking and taking medication. The flight attendant asked her to remove the jacket from off her head when the fire works started. She was screaming at the F/A and the FAM intervened. Shortly after the police showed up and that's when the video starts.

Im confused. That is a narrow body cabin. Is US Air flying 757s from PHL to Lisbon?

Probably one of the US Airways award booking employees told her that Lisbon was located in Brazil.
