Smoking, Punching, Cursing Queens Woman Forces Jet Blue Flight Detour

Alcohol certainly brings out the worst in some of us. I can't help but think that underneath this racist, drunk, nicotine addicted woman is something better. I certainly hope for her sake.

As for landing at an alternative airport, well ... you never know the strength of a nicotine drunk racist. I don't know about the racism, but nicotine-fits make me want to run marathons ... She probably won't get 20 years, but she is in a lot of trouble.

She's a real special lady.

Fucking idiot

Ruinign it for the rest of us that like to drink on a flight

Its not the alcohol its your IQ that makes you a moron

And its your lawyer that fucks it up for the rest of us

Jen - still, the question hasn't been answered. Why is the flight attendant labeled as "uptight" when all she is doing is her job, that job being to enforce federal laws?

This story is way-funnier now that I know that crazy woman is from Woodside!

They should have diverted to Phoenix. Those airport cops have that "special touch" with wackjobs like her.

And I mourn the days of smoking on a flight. I used to put my one-hitter pot pipe side by side with a cigarette and smoke them both. Nobody noticed or cared as I climbed a little higher than "35,000 ft.".

I can't lie, my first thought after reading that and seeing the picture: I bet she's AMAZING in bed. She sleeps only with non-black people, of course.

This is nuts. She'll probably get far less after admitting to a substance/alcohol abuse problem and agreeing to go to rehab and do some community service.

Nothing screams "drunk" more than that photo of Szele.

A few smoke-free years in prison should help cure her tobacco and alcohol addictions.

16 & 38: These schmucks use JetBlue because it's the cheapest airline. That's why I use it!

Throw the book at her!

Wait a second......Paul Whyte is black?!?!?! I'll be damned!

At least the cops cared enough to check her for skin damage...

Trash on air!!! NIICE act you slze -Szele_ idiot!

As a previous commenter noted, what is it about JetBlue that attracts this sort of thing? I fly Northwest, Continental, United, BA, etc. and I've never seen anything close to this. No wonder that so many flight attendants these days seem so stressed out.

when are they going to finally learn to have those animal tranq guns for the flight crew...

?

Shoot her once in the ass and then duct ape her into a mummy. End of Story.

I used to be defense counsel for American Airlines and they most definitely have no-fly lists. They are quite extensive and (sometimes) arbitrary. Yet another reason to be on your best behavior while travelling.

The flight attendant shouldn't have snatched the cigarette from her. The correct way to deal with obnoxious smokers is to use the fire extinguisher. A faceful of dry chemicals should be enough to stop them from lighting up.

I'm always curious if they put people like this on a No-Fly list, even if plead out or get out of the charge on a technicality. I would think that the airline has cause to ban her from all of their flights. One hopes at least.

Wow. Just...wow.

Oh and ..A hot mess is she. OK im dun.

Most of the wretches moved to Williamsburg in the late 90's.

your uptight joke was not funny, it is not obvious enough to be sarcastic and it's just in the way you're a bad writer, you write for yourself not the readers.

neckbeard,

You forgot to mention that she also threatened to kill a flight-attendant, right? Threatening murder counts for something.

Growing up in Sunnyside, we all knew to avoid the wretched scum from Woodside.

oops, "these cases" not "this cases"...

They should have a place in the cargo area for this cases... just dump them down a chute and continue the flight... You see, I'm a genius! I should patent this...

Nobody had the idea to youtube it?

I think the passengers in such cases should be allowed to democratically vote on whether 1) their flight should be diverted or 2) the person is let off the plane in mid-flight (problem passenger? what problem passenger?) Some travelers have places to be and things to do without time for such jackassery.

She admitted to having two beers before she boarded the plane. Using Drunk Math, that means she had about 5 beers before getting on the plane.

It probably was not necessary to have diverted the flight to Denver. Diversions can cost thousands of dollars and inconvenience everyone involved. Once this woman was finally restrained, she wasn't a threat any longer.

My favorite part of the affidavit is the witness accounts, like the one who smelled a match burning and looked up to see her puffing away. Nuts!

And I think she may have been drinking before she got on the plane, too.

She's not white trash my little amateurs, she's Eurotrash!

Oh yeah, she's from Woodside.

woah, she's crazy looking.

(i'd still hit it)

does this surprise anybody? you know you all interact with somebody like this at least once a week in this city.

and @ # 12 this isn't for smoking, its for being a drunk asshole, dropping the n word, physically attacking somebody and "interfering with a flight crew"

why does it seem JetBlue attracts these types of passengers?

oops. "than" not "thank"

spiritross: the 20 year sentence has more to do with this thank smoking:

"if convicted on charges of interfering with a flight crew and assault."

As a female Queens native, I weep.

someone please pass the soma

Our illustrious president is gonna talk again about "protecting our freedoms"

20 Years ago it was perfectly alright to smoke on airplanes

Now you get 20 years in Federal Prison

brave new world here people

I hope she gets the 20 yrs...

This girl should be put in jail for a few years to teach her what responsibility is, but she'll probably just receive a firm handslap and maybe have to do some public service.

#3, Really? So there's no white trash in the 'inner' borough of Manhattan? An arrogant douche says what?

#4, JDS tends to add irrelevant and often ill-humored adjectives and adverbs to his articles. Get used to it.

haha what an asshat. i hope she gets 25 years! make an example of her white trash ass.

i think "uptight" was sarcastic, 'James'.

That's an awesomely awful mugshot. Can you imaging sitting next to this crazy b*tch on that flight? I would have applauded the crew for taking her down.

i want to marry her.

did they strap her down and intravenously administer the three vodka tonics?

She should get together with the couch-hiding guy.

John - why do you consider the flight attendants "uptight" if they are trying to enforce a federal law?

Boy, I often have to be reminded that white trash is alive and thriving in the outer boroughs.

not to mention: really, you black out after 3 vodka tonics? i call bull.

Oh wow. People who look that mental should probably just be arrested pre-emtively. They are bound to do something at some point.

She blames the crew for serving her 3 vodka and tonics? Jesus, way to accept responsibility for freaking out. No need for the N-bombs though...........come on.
