American Airlines apologizes after forcing passenger to change 'Hail Satan' shirt
American Airlines is apologising after a passenger says she was forced to remove her "Hail Satan" shirt or get off the flight. The incident happened in October, when passenger Swati Runi Goyal boarded an American Airlines flight from Miami to Las Vegas wearing a shirt that read "Hail Satan". Goyal, a 49-year-old from Key West, says members of the flight crew asked her to change her shirt or get off the flight because it was "offensive." "At first (the flight attendants) asked me to gather my things and come to the front of the plane, at which point I thought ‘Oh great, we’re being upgraded,' " Goyal said. "After a little bit of back and forth, my husband realized that the (flight attendant) was serious about us getting up from the flight. We quickly realized that there was a problem." American Airlines issued a statement about the incident: "We apologize to Ms. Goyal for her experience, and have reached out to her to understand what occurred."<br/>
