re: #361 The Vicious Babushka

We still don’t know what the actual events were, we only have one narrative from a known prankster.

This. Until we get statements from other passengers or Delta can we withhold the outrage. It sounds like there was a verbal altercation at least and depending on how that went down maybe he is the aggrieved party or maybe he got so belligerent they felt they had to remove him. Maybe he had reason to be belligerent, I don’t know. I do know he isn’t above being provoctative for hits though…

Back in February, Saleh also produced a video in which he counted down in Arabic on a plane in what he termed an experiment.

After Wednesday’s incident, Metropolitan Police questioned the two men, but released them after determining that they did not do anything illegal.

Eyewitness News has learned, based on their conversations with Metropolitan Police, it appears that Saleh first claimed to be talking to his mother on the phone in Arabic and then to Albaher in Arabic. During an ensuing back in forth with a woman seated in front of them, Saleh asked her if she had ever heard another language. The verbal dispute continued with her and with another man. After it escalated, the captain came back and asked that the two men leave the plane, which they did.
