Earlier this week, we posted on a news report about an incident aboard a United Airlines flight to Tampa that resulted in nine foreign born passengers being removed from the airplane. Several passengers reportedly left shaken up after witnessing the incident.
Here’s the rest of the story…
A delegation of Pakistani military officers has abandoned a trip to the US after being mistaken for terrorists and ordered off an airliner. The eight officers, led by a two-star Navy rear admiral, were on their way to a meeting at US Central Command.
They had boarded a United Airlines Flight from Washington to Tampa on Monday but were taken off the aircraft because of comments made by one of the men, according to an airline spokesman. Pakistani officials said the officer, weary from the journey to the US, had said, “I hope this is the final plane to the destination” causing a female passenger, who believed he was threatening the aircraft, to panic.
