A woman who yelled profanities at a flight attendant and threatened to kill him caused an airplane to make an unplanned landing and was charged on Monday in a federal court with interfering with the flight crew.
The Alaska Airlines flight, scheduled Friday from San Francisco to Chicago, landed at Kansas City International Airport in Kansas City, Missouri, because the pilot was concerned for the safety of the passengers, the Department of Justice said in a statement Monday.
The woman charged, Chloe M. DaSilva, 32, had asked if she could change seats, but flight attendants told her the plane was full, according to an affidavit filed in the case.
