JetBlue Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh had taxied to a stop at Terminal 5, Gate C around noon Monday when flight attendant Steven Slater, 38, was struck in the head with luggage that a passenger was trying to unload from an overhead compartment, according to an airport official with knowledge of the incident.
Slater demanded an apology from the passenger, the official said, but the passenger refused. The two argued before the passenger told Slater to f off, the official said. The official said that Slater then got on the planes PA system and directed that same obscenity at all the passengers and added that he especially meant it for the man who refused to apologize.
Slater is alleged to have then activated the planes inflatable emergency slide, grabbed two beers from the galley, then slid down the chute, the official said.
The attendant then ran from the tarmac into the terminal, the official said. He made his way to his car and drove to his residence in Belle Harbor, Queens, the official said.
Hot Air commentary follows on theory that Will Ferrell will make a movie via the event...
In the movie, Slater/Ferrell will slide off the chute and directly into Katherine Heigl, in classic meet-cute fashion. Hell become an instant celebrity, famous across America for his Howard Beale-esque display of mad dignity in the face of recession-fueled chaos. But as time wears on, the fame will go to his head, ruining the everyman who struck a blow for the little guy by popping a beer and the escape chute! that fateful day on the tarmac. Can the Love Of A Good Woman save his soul and restore him to the lovably humble lunatic we knew at the beginning of the film? Why yes, assuredly it can. Exit quotation: Sources said the steward was having a bad day.
