RadioOnFire.com - Video of yet another Delta Airlines discrepancy was captured on video on Tuesday, May 30, and shows a passenger being wrestled from his seat by a pair of officers who had been sent to remove him from a plane.
The footage was captured by a reporter from WTVT-TV who happened to be on the flight when the altercation ensued. She would take to Twitter to share the recording just before the plane took off at around 5:30 pm. “Man kicked off Delta flight to LGA after he yelled at another passenger, got belligerent with a flight attendant,” reporter Kellie Cowan tweeted.
The Delta Flight 2646 aircraft was scheduled to head out of Tampa International Airport for LaGuardia at around 3:30 p.m., but those plans were delayed when the man allegedly blew a fit over another passenger's bag taking up the overhead compartment above his seat. He was described as "hostile" and "aggressive" by other passengers, at one point pulling the bag down and tossing it to the aisle. It was at that point that stewardesses called security.
"Sir, you created a disturbance on the flight. Sir, the pilot does not want you on the plane. Sir, Delta is going to rebook you on another flight," the more vocal officer of the two raised his voice to say after it became apparent that the man wasn't willing to deplane, as had been requested. "Sir, are you going to get off the aircraft or am I going to have to use force?" the officer then asked, before grabbing him with one hand behind the neck and finally lifting him after several attempts.
The other passengers on the plane reportedly clapped as he was being ushered out.
