Passengers Applaud When Child With Allergic Reaction Is Kicked Off Flight

[Initech]

After a family trip to Washington, 7-year-old Giovanni boarded an Allegiant Air flight home with his mother Christina Fabian, and dad, George Alvarado.

But instead of heading back to Arizona, the family was forced to get off the plane after Giovanni had an allergic reaction and delayed takeoff, King 5 News reports. To add insult to injury: other passengers clapped as the family headed off the plane.

"He started to get hives, so we informed the flight attendant who informed us that there's dogs on every flight and just smirked, which minimized his experience for me," Fabian said. "They helped us off the plane, but as we gathered our stuff the people toward the back of the plane clapped."

Giovanni's father has terminal cancer, so the purpose of the trip was to spend some quality time together.

"I am sad that this has to be a memory with my dad," said Giovanni.

What the serious fuck is wrong with people???? This is such a sad story on multiple levels, and now they're victims of some douchebags on a plane?

1. So many humans are worse than

scum.

[Orrex]

2. It's always best to judge an emotional story based on one side's account of it.

5. I had the same thought;' there have been a lot of stories like this in the past few years.

I would like to know more, too. For one thing, saying that the flight attendant was smirking doesn't help their case. Flight attendants work had to make flights pleasant for their passengers. A lot of times when the full story unfolds, it turns out that there was much more going on than the complaining parties are letting on.

3. I am so f'ing tired of these motherf'ing douchebags on this motherf'ing plane!

[FiveGoodMen]

4. WTF, indeed!

Baffling

[OldHippieChick]

6. Repukes, Fox, Trump

have all made it okay to be bigoted, angry and intolerant. They have opened the door to saying that being ugly to our fellow human beings is the right thing to do.

8. not really, kind of standard practice, depends on how big of a scene, any yelling,

how long the delay was- etc.,etc.,

Most people are usually pretty nice..But 99% of the time somebody causing an issue on a flight gets the same treatment-

Clapping, followed with-

Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey....

7. a big time allergic reaction at 30,000 feet would have been a night mare family did the right thing

allergies suck

9. Plane was going to AZ & their name was Alvarado . Just sayin

Sounds like Trump chumps

[valerief]

10. I think that's sweet. Everyone was happy the boy would feel better once he was off the plane. nt

11. Here's a photo of the kid and his father:

Hmm...Giovanni Alvarado and his dad. There's something about them that may have contributed to that cheering. Can anyone identify what it might be?

[a kennedy]

12. and I'm sure most of the clappers will be voting for the tRump......

[KamaAina]

13. What airline was this? Air Douche?

[Thor_MN]

14. Did everyone know why they were getting off the plane?

Or did they just see people being taken off the plane, explain why the flight was being delayed?

If the first, they suck. The second, there's a bit of room for not sucking entirely.

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Ugh

Assholes.

[Octafish]

16. People can die from an allergic reaction.

Glad the pilot and flight crew did the right thing for the kid.

If people applauded to mock the kid for delaying their flight, they are lower than dog shit.

[flying rabbit]

17. Passengers might not have known the reason.

Let's just hop on the outrage train anyway! Choo choo!
