Air rage gran scrambles fighters
MIAMI (Reuters) - Fighter jets were scrambled at Miami airport after an elderly woman threw a fit on an American Airlines plane and flight attendants thought she would attack them, police said.
Reports said the woman was aged between 69 and 79.
"They said old," a police spokeswoman said, adding she could not confirm her precise age.
The pilot of flight AA-2133 with 126 passengers on board announced an emergency as a precaution shortly after taking off for Caracas on Tuesday and fighter jets were scrambled to escort the plane back to Miami international airport. The plane landed safely.
