When the passenger allegedly refused to comply with officers’ demands, they physically dragged her down the aisle and off the plane. A fellow passenger recorded the ensuing incident, which was posted on the blog “Rene’s Points.” In the video, the woman does not appear to be fighting or cooperating. She doesn’t appear to be doing much of anything else, for that matter.
Watch what happened (warning, some strong language):
“Despite repeated requests by officers, the woman refused to leave the aircraft and had to be removed,” Donnerson said. “She was arrested and charges are pending.” Airline spokesman Anthony Black said the flight was only slightly delayed as a result of the commotion.
