Flight attendant disturbance grounds American Airlines flight at D/FW

Source: Dallas Morning News

The flight attendant "came on the PA system ranting about AA bankruptcy and then telling them the plane was going to crash," said the sister of one woman on the plane.

This morning Flight 2332 had left the gate at DFW bound for Chicago, when an incident occurred involving some of the cabin crew. The aircraft returned to the gate, where it was met by Department of Public Safety officers. Two flight attendants were taken to local hospitals for treatment. We continue to investigate the details and circumstances and will have no further comment at this time.

The flight attendant, whose name has not been released, claimed that she had bipolar disorder and hadn't taken her medicine, according to Bessler.

"I thought she was joking," said Bessler, 34, who was seated in the second row in first class.

"Then she got on the PA phone and it sounded like she was trying to talk to the captain."
