Talk about in-flight entertainment! A pilot was forced to make an emergency landing after a female passenger on his American Airlines flight refused to stop singing ‘I Will Always Love You’ by Whitney Houston.
Honestly? You just can’t make this kind of news up!
According to various reports online, the incident occurred on a flight from Los Angeles to New York and the woman’s singing began as soon as the plane took off. However her rendition of the classic love song quickly became too much for her fellow passengers and the flight staff so they had to take some drastic measures in order to shut her up.
The pilot was forced to change course halfway through the six hour flight and made an emergency landing at Kansas City airport so police officers could handcuff the woman and escort her from the plane.
“The woman was being disruptive and was removed from the plane for interfering with the flight crew. There was a federal air marshal on the aircraft, who subdued the woman and put her in cuffs and removed her from the plane,” said Joe McBride, a spokesman for the airport.
Despite the fact that plane staff told passengers they could not take pictures while they were on the plane, one managed to film the woman being escorted off the aircraft (and then put it on YouTube for the rest of us to see).
According to reports, the woman was interviewed by the police and later released without charge.
So did you like her rendition? Here's the original, sung by Whitney herself, so you can compare and decide who sang it best:
