Urgent trip to restroom gets man kicked off Delta flight
The way Kima Hamilton sees it, his urgent need to visit the restroom as a Milwaukee-bound Delta jet awaited takeoff was a misunderstanding blown all out of proportion. In fellow passenger Krista Rosolino's view, it was outrageous that Hamilton was kicked off the flight and that everyone else was forced to exit the plane when it returned to the gate in Atlanta. She took to social media to defend this man she didn't know. The Delta quick take on this incident is that federal law requires passengers to comply with crew instructions, or run the risk of being seen as a security threat. Delta sent the following statement Wednesday: "Our flight crews are extensively trained to ensure the safety and security of all customers. It is imperative that passengers comply with crew instructions during all phases of flight, especially at the critical points of takeoff and landing." The attempts by two Delta agents to eject Hamilton from the plane were caught on video. When he refused, the entire aircraft was emptied and all passengers except Hamilton were allowed to re-board a short time later.<br/>
