Going Up Swinging
I have pretty bad hearing issues and wear hearing aids. Normally when I fly I leave them in for the safety check.
Then pull them and promptly check out. I was on my way back from work related travel and had the cheapest most awful seat on the plane…thanks DTS.
About 30 minutes into the flight this kid next to me, probably 20, starts having an EPIC meltdown. Apparently the WiFi on the plane is too slow for him and he starts pounding and banging the seat in front of him and then knees the tray shooting my hearing aids up and away.
I try to get up to catch them and he gets me right in the face. I’m a 5’3 100 lb girl fresh out of the shower. This guy is like 6 feet tall and pretty big.
He sent me hard to the floor. I was told after that someone restrained him and they had to turn the plane back around and had him escorted off the plane.
FA’s were super nice and the other passengers helped me find my hearing aids. I still don’t know what happened entirely.
But they let me lay down across two first class seats with an ice pack over my face for most of the cross country flight. Turinggirl
