There was a ruckus after lice were seen in the woman’s hair, the flight had to make an emergency landing

A shocking incident came to light from America. Here an American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing after lice were seen in the head of a female passenger. This louse was seen crawling in the woman’s head by a co-passenger. This flight had departed from Los Angeles to New York, but later it had to be diverted to Phoenix. TikTok creator Ethan Judelson was also on that plane.

The TikTok creator has posted a video on TikTok, in which he mentioned the incident. According to Judelson, the crew gave very little information about the diversion, which left the passengers surprised. He told that as soon as the plane landed, a woman from the other side of the aisle suddenly ran towards the front of the plane. Seeing the reaction of that woman, no one could understand anything, because the rest of the passengers were not aware of this incident. In an interview later, Judelson said he was surprised by the woman’s haste, as she seemed more anxious than the rest of the passengers on the plane.

“It can’t be that scary”

Judelson said, “I looked around, nobody was on the ground, nobody was panicking. I was thinking, it can’t be that scary.” The situation became even more bizarre after landing. As soon as we landed, this woman sitting in the aisle in front of me jumped up and ran to the front of the plane. He said, “She seemed to be in a hurry to get off the plane first.”

He said the situation became even more bizarre when the passengers were told that they had landed in Phoenix and would face a 12-hour delay. The airline gave hotel vouchers to all the passengers. Judelson’s confusion deepened even more, as he questioned whether they were stranded in Phoenix indefinitely. American Airlines confirmed in a statement that the flight was diverted due to a medical emergency.

Real reason for emergency landing?

However, Judelson later found out that the real reason for this emergency landing and diversion of the plane was lice. He heard other passengers discussing how insects were seen in the woman’s hair, which led to the emergency landing. Despite the unusual interruption, the passengers eventually flew to New York. However, during this time they had to waste many of their hours.
