Lately the airlines go a long way. The last to star in another incident is JetBlue. What started with something as simple as a birthday cake ended in a serious confrontation.
Four members of a family were expelled from a flight that left the New York John F. Kennedy Airport to Las Vegas after strong tensions over a dessert that was intended to celebrate Minta Burke's birthday, as the family told ABC 7.
Minta assured the newscast that a flight attendant had asked her husband Cameron Burke to move a cake they were carrying in the upstairs closet. He complied and put her under his seat. However, a second flight attendant intervened in the matter and exchanged a few words with her partner about this situation, according to the family.
Seeing that discomfort, the man approached both to see if everything was fine. But the stewardess's response was that that was not his business. Without thinking twice and noticing a strange behavior in the woman, the passenger asked if he had drunk. "His way of acting was not normal," said Cameron.
The Police intervened immediately in the matter. In this situation, the couple's children were nervous and cried in despair when they did not understand anything of what happened. "We were so happy, we really wanted to go to Las Vegas, and suddenly this happens," explained the children's mother.
At the insistence that they leave the plane, Camerón decided to record the scene when he did not believe or understand what was happening.
The family was eventually thrown out of the plane, although both points and ticket money were returned. Before, the rest of the passengers had to leave the plane causing a stir. Soon after, everyone returned to their seats and the flight continued normally, according to the New York Daily News.
JetBlue assured PEOPLE magazine that the Burke family did not comply with what was asked of them about putting the cake elsewhere, since they had initially placed it in a place of safety and destined for emergency teams.
In a statement, the airline said: "After customers refused to speak to the crew chief about the situation, the Port Authority police department was called and all passengers evacuated the plane. The captain determined that the behavior of these people was a risk to the flight and they would not be allowed to travel."
The family ended up flying to Las Vegas the next day with the United Airlines company where they finally celebrated Minta's birthday. But Cameron assured the New York Daily News that he would file a lawsuit against JetBlue.
