December 2nd 2023.
A 14-year-old girl experienced a shocking and traumatic incident while traveling on American Airlines Flight 1441 from Charlotte to Boston. She was waiting to use the restroom in the economy section when a male flight attendant told her to use the one in the first-class cabin instead. When the girl entered the restroom, she found an iPhone taped to the back of the toilet seat, with red tape that read ‘remove from service’. It appears the phone was concealed and its camera was turned on.
The girl and her family's lawyers claim that the other flight attendants failed to take away the suspect's phone, thus allowing him to delete any evidence. They also allege that the airline should have known he was a danger.
The Massachusetts State Police were alerted of a potential criminal act in the middle of the flight, and American Airlines has responded that the flight attendant was immediately 'withheld from service' and has not worked since.
The family says an FBI agent told them the flight attendant was not arrested because there was no photo evidence on his phone. The teen's father, who prefers to remain anonymous, told the New York Post that she is feeling embarrassed and violated by the incident. The girl is currently undergoing therapy to help her cope with her trauma.
The incident adds to a string of recent restroom incidents on flights. In December 2021, a teacher flying from New Jersey to Iceland quarantined herself in the Icelandair restroom when she found out she tested positive for the coronavirus during the flight.
