American Airlines passenger duct-taped to seat after midflight meltdown
"About halfway through AA flight 2470's journey on September 16, Dilone left her seat and began "walking down the aisle and yelling," the probable cause affidavit states. At the same time, Dilone was "continually recording the entire aircraft," it alleges. When asked to stop filming, Dilone became enraged and "started to verbally threaten multiple flight attendants," who notified the captain and co-pilot, the affidavit goes on."
"After Ketty Dilone threatened to kill multiple crew members aboard an American Airlines flight from Charlotte to Las Vegas, she still managed to assault a flight attendant even while largely immobilized, according to an FBI probable cause affidavit unsealed Wednesday in federal court. A bystander captured part of the tirade on video, which was later uploaded to TikTok. Dilone, 47, does not yet have an attorney listed in court records and was unable to be contacted."
Ketty Dilone, 47, threatened crew members and assaulted a flight attendant aboard American Airlines flight 2470 from Charlotte to Las Vegas on September 16. She left her seat midflight, walked the aisle while filming the cabin, and became enraged when asked to stop, verbally threatening and making aggressive postures toward flight attendants. Cabin crew physically restrained her with flex cuffs and her seat belt, and a flight attendant taped her torso with duct tape to prevent sliding. A bystander recorded part of the incident and uploaded video to TikTok. American Airlines said it is working with law enforcement and prioritized safety.
