Thursday, August 20, 2009
A Southwest Airlines flight was forced to turn around after a dispute erupted on board that left CROS (a deaf, mentally & physicaly disabled, black, gay man) completely naked.
The Alameda County sheriff's department in California said CROS and a woman on the flight were injured during the altercation, and he took off all of his clothes.
The flight originated in Oakland, Calif., and was en route to St. Louis.
During the scuffle, pilots changed course and headed back to Oakland. CROS and the woman were both taken to area hospitals after the plane landed.
