United Airlines Flight Attendant Sent To Hospital After Unruly

Passenger Incident
Chicago police met the aircraft at the gate.

An argument yesterday on United Airlines flight 476 led to multiple passengers and one flight
attendant being hospitalized after landing at Chicago O'Hare International Airport.

Another flight disturbance

UA476 departed San Francisco International Airport at 00:42 local time on November 13, 43 minutes
late. The Boeing 777-200 headed for Chicago O'Hare International Airport, where it landed four
minutes late, at 06:03 local time. When the aircraft arrived at the gate in Chicago, local police boarded
the plane because of an argument between a passenger and multiple flight attendants.

In multiple videos shared by passengers on flight 476, a woman holding a child appears standing in the
aisle screaming at the flight attendants. Flight attendants are heard telling the passenger that the plane
is landing at that she needs to take her seat for landing. The passenger pushes herself into a flight
attendant blocking the aisle and tells the flight attendant to "f*** off" and that the passenger next to
her smells of alcohol.

The woman repeatedly tells the flight attendant, "I will kill you." The videos are brief, but in one, a
flight attendant is seen running down the aisle of the 777 to help de-escalate the situation.

At one point, four flight attendants are seen near the disturbed passenger, ready to assist and
neutralize the situation.

According to Emily Jean, another passenger on the flight, the passenger in the incident acted strangely
throughout the flight, muttering things under her breath that sounded like gibberish. The passenger,
presumably named Sarah based on what the flight attendants say in the video, also told passengers,
"Jesus Christ, our savior, is going to save us."
The crew of flight 476 requested that police meet the plane at the gate, and police officers met the
aircraft at around 06:02. According to a statement from the Chicago Police Department, three people
were taken to the nearby Resurrection Hospital for observation, including one of the flight attendants.

Simple Flying has reached out to United Airlines for additional information and an official statement
but has not received a reply at the time of publication.

Shared no-fly list

Because of the rise of unruly passenger incidents since 2020, airline executives like Delta Air Lines CEO
Ed Bastian have suggested that the federal government create a national no-fly list. A federal no-fly
list already exists and is more commonly known as "the watch list," a list for known terrorists or those
suspected of being involved in terrorist activities.

Ed Bastian wants the federal government to expand its no-fly list to anyone federally charged with
onboard disruptions. Airlines in the United States currently have the power to ban passengers because
of unruly behaviour, regardless of previous criminal convictions. Since the beginning of the pandemic,
Delta has added almost 2,000 passengers to its no-fly list for refusing to comply with mask mandates.
