Nowadays, a headline about a crazy person on a plane usually comes with that sinking expectation of a body count. Thankfully, this one is just straight-up funny.
In a federal case of the Mondays, Jet Blue steward Steven Slater flipped after being sassed by a passenger who ignored instructions not to go for her overhead compartment until the plane reaches the gate.
Slater was bumped on the head by the passenger's luggage, and instead of apologizing, the passenger gave him a tongue-lashing.
Slater responded by taking to the plane's PA to curse out everyone aboard, grabbing some beers from the galley, and pulling the plane's emergency chute, sliding to freedom.
Police later caught up with Slater at his Belle Harbor, New York home, where according to NBC News, he was apparently in the middle of having sex. Slater might as well do it while he can: he is being charged with multiple charges of criminal mischief, reckless endangerment, and criminal trespass, for which he could get seven years in prison if convicted, according to Queens DA Richard Brown.
all travel these days entails dealing with entitled, rude, and angry humans. god forbid anyone tries to get luggage out of the overhead bin, people who cannot wait their turn shove them forward. the cause of our problems is not our government - it's us.
