Arizona Executive Fired After Alleged Racist, Homophobic Outburst Forces Flight Diversion
An Arizona real estate executive was fired after an alleged mid-air outburst on an American Airlines flight from Dallas to Newark. The disruption reportedly included racist and homophobic slurs directed at a flight attendant and other passengers. The flight diverted to Baltimore after passengers restrained him in his seat with duct tape and zip ties. Video from the cabin showed him bound across the torso and hands. Police removed him from the aircraft after it landed. He was charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, while federal investigators consider whether further charges are warranted.
