Woman Terrorizes Plane With Fake Leg, Slaps Passengers, Demands Smokes
LatestA woman on a flight to Edinburgh went ballistic when she was told she couldn’t have her own parachute or smoke cigarettes on her flight. That’s when the prosthetic leg came off and the terror started. If this were a Lifetime movie, it would be called Legs On a Plane and would star Aviva Drescher. Unfortunately, this is real life.
The woman, who was only said to be 48 and unemployed (is this a standard thing that is reported by the police?) had apparently been spoiling for a fight even before she boarded the plane that was returning to Edinburgh from Tunisia. She had already had an altercation on the bus to the airport and was drinking heavily, according to other passengers. While that’s normal (I was on a flight to Las Vegas in June where a drunk person kicked my seat for an hour like some kind of colicky baby), what happened next wasn’t: The angry, drunk, unemployed woman started slapping passengers, making unreasonable demands and assaulting cabin crew with her prosthetic leg, which had to be taken from her for everyone’s safety. Too bad everyone forgot that she had one non-prosthetic leg, too, because she started kicking up a storm with that.
