“Turns out the passenger was freaking about being next to people who were couging/sneezing and making unreasonable requests and eventually becoming “unruly” and uncooperative,” tweeted one passenger.
According to CBS4, United officials report that the flight landed without incident and was met by police before Departing for Newark 30 minutes later. The three disruptive passengers were removed from the flight.
The airline said the incident “was in no way a medical situation,” and, “after landing safely, the aircraft was met by law enforcement” the airline said.
As we reported, everyone is in panic after multiple countries has been put on lockdown to prevent the spread of the virus, with stores running out of cleaning and disinfecting products.
