But instead of heading back to Arizona, the family was forced to get off the plane after Giovanni had an allergic reaction and delayed takeoff, King 5 News reports. To add insult to injury: other passengers clapped as the family headed off the plane.
"He started to get hives, so we informed the flight attendant who informed us that there's dogs on every flight and just smirked, which minimized his experience for me," Fabian said. "They helped us off the plane, but as we gathered our stuff the people toward the back of the plane clapped."
Giovanni's father has terminal cancer, so the purpose of the trip was to spend some quality time together.
"I am sad that this has to be a memory with my dad," said Giovanni.

What the serious fuck is wrong with people???? This is such a sad story on multiple levels, and now they're victims of some douchebags on a plane?

(27,848 posts)I would like to know more, too. For one thing, saying that the flight attendant was smirking doesn't help their case. Flight attendants work had to make flights pleasant for their passengers. A lot of times when the full story unfolds, it turns out that there was much more going on than the complaining parties are letting on.

(2,434 posts)have all made it okay to be bigoted, angry and intolerant. They have opened the door to saying that being ugly to our fellow human beings is the right thing to do.

Most people are usually pretty nice..But 99% of the time somebody causing an issue on a flight gets the same treatment-
Clapping, followed with-

(11,843 posts)Or did they just see people being taken off the plane, explain why the flight was being delayed?
If the first, they suck. The second, there's a bit of room for not sucking entirely.

If people applauded to mock the kid for delaying their flight, they are lower than dog shit.
