An American Airlines flight going across the country had to make an emergency landing in Kansas City, Missouri, on Sunday afternoon after a passenger allegedly caused a disturbance mid-flight, according to a report.
"A flight attendant comes to the middle of the plane where I am, yells to another flight attendant in the back to turn on the lights. At this time, the plane starts descending very rapidly, I think we reached 5,000 feet per minute," Moustafa told FOX 4.
"As that’s happening, a lot of people don’t know what’s really going on. I mean, people assume, maybe something happened to the pilot, maybe we’re just literally crashing. So, a lot of people, including me, honestly thought we might, this might be it," the witness added, according to the report.
