Drunk Karen learns harsh lesson after forcing entire plane to disembark because of her entitled antics
A drunk Delta airlines passenger forced an entire plane to disembark and return to the terminal after refusing to get off it... but she ended up slapped in handcuffs over her antics. The woman, named Alicia, could barely keep her eyes open as she refused to get off a plane from Dallas to Boston on April 14, 2024, newly released bodycam footage showed. While on the aircraft she admitted to having two shots, but after deplaning, she claimed to have had six glasses of wine while waiting for her delayed flight. A flight attendant also told police Alicia had a glass of prosecco and two shots of tequila while on board. Police repeatedly asked Alicia to get off the plane, but she ignored them and refused to get up. Her stubborn behavior meant every other passenger had to get off the flight so she could be physically removed by cops. 'I do not trust this state and I'm trying to go home,' she said, slurring her words. 'So do not hold me here.' 'You need to stand up and get off the airplane, ma'am,' the officer replied. 'No, I don't,' she replied, eyes still closed. While on the aircraft, she admitted to having two shots, but after deplaning, she claimed to have had six glasses of wine while waiting for her delayed flight. A flight attendant also told police Alicia had a glass of prosecco and two shots of tequila while on board Police brought on EMTs hoping to 'sweet talk her off,' but were unsuccessful, forcing police to make every passenger deplane. As officers go to handcuff her, she began to resist. 'Give me my one and only warning back,' she begged. 'Why would you do that? Why would you do that? All I was trying to do was fly home?' she said, her voice sounding hoarse. She then started questioning what she did wrong, and police reiterated to her that she refused to get off the aircraft. 'Because you didn't want to fly me?' she replied. 'Ma'am, I'm not the airlines,' the officer said. As she was walking up the jet bridge, she spat on the ground. As they rounded the corner back into the terminal, she was met with the large crowd of fellow passengers, who 'booed' her as she walked by. Alicia was placed under arrest for criminal trespassing and public intoxication. As they escorted her to the squad car, she became difficult, throwing herself to the ground inside the airport before refusing to allow officers to check her for weapons. 'Ma'am, I will prone you out if you don't stop kicking,' an officer said, referring to the position where a person is laid facedown on the ground. Officers forced her into the position as they held her handcuffed wrists. Eventually, they put her into the squad car. Video footage from inside the car showed Alicia kicking the vehicle and hyperventilating, before telling officers to 'stop going through my s**t.' 'All I did was try and peacefully get out of a f**king plane,' she wailed. She changed tune as officers got in the car, asking: 'Can I please have a cigarette?' As she got out of the car at the station, she asked them: 'Can I have my vape?' 'No, you can't have your vape,' an officer replied. 'I need a cigarette,' she said, before whining: 'Can I please just have one ciggy?' Alicia did not stop resisting arrest after entering the station. When a female officer asked her to 'undo your hands, please,' the young woman sassily replied: 'Undo my cuffs and I will.' Officers repeatedly asked to cooperate, leading her to let out a high-pitched wail: 'No! What did I even do wrong?' Eventually, she was led into a room and once again laid in a prone position, her hair spread out around her as they removed her over shirt and jewelry.

Three people step in after man sets himself on fire
ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM)— Three bystanders helped a man who had set himself on fire in Wisner Park on Thursday, June 12. 'I was on my lunch break heading back to the school I work at down the street and I stopped at this red light and I look over and I saw fire and I thought it was life the flower garden beds on fire and then as I'm dialing 911 I see the man fall back,' said Isabella Wilson, a bystander at the scene. Wilson parked her car and immediately went to the man to try to help him. She brought water that she had over to try and get rid of the fire. Two other people were in the area at the time, and they went to help the man as soon as they noticed the flames. Person sets self on fire at Wisner Park; Elmira Police shut down area 'I was screaming at people to call 911, and I'm trying to get people to bring me something, and that's all they brought me, they brought me a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew and a half gallon of chocolate milk, and it worked. Desirae Wood, a bystander at the scene. Woods says that the fire was mostly put out by the time the emergency crews arrived. According to a few bystanders, only a few people stopped to help, but many drove by in their cars, recording on their phones. 'I screamed at them that you'd rather record something like this than call the EMTs or 911,' said Joshua Campbell, a bystander at the scene. Man arrested in connection to Oak Street shooting in Elmira All three of the bystanders agree that instead of pulling your phone out to record, you should pull over and make sure that the person is receiving the help that they need. 'I'm pretty sure there are videos out there, but they shouldn't be posted. They should be deleted because it's not right, it's disrespectful to him,' said Campbell. The three people who helped the man all believe that the Elmira community needs to be more involved with helping each other in times of trouble. 'I just think the Elmira community needs to do better. With all the people around here, especially in the park and everything, people know people, and there's just no reason that someone should feel they need to do that,' said Wilson.

Cardiac arrest survivor reunites with first responders who saved her life
CHICAGO (WGN) — Hundreds gathered Wednesday morning at Robert J. Quinn Fire Academy to honor Chicago firefighters, EMTs and 911 dispatchers at an awards ceremony. The ceremony was part of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) week, a nationwide celebration of the lifesaving work of emergency medical personnel. One guest who felt especially lucky to be in attendance was Chicagoan Cara Frank, who came face-to-face with the team of EMTs who saved her life. On the evening of July 22, 2024, Frank experienced a seizure and went into cardiac arrest. Once EMTs arrived, they secured an airway and applied a defibrillator, but the AED did not administer a shock. A second emergency was able to stabilize the wife and mother. Frank, through tears, expressed gratitude to the people who saved her life. 'Thank you for letting me still be here,' she said. 'Just thank you.' She then turned away from the podium and gave each of the emergency responders a hug. The theme for EMS Week 2025 is 'We Care. For Everyone.' 'This week is a time to recognize and thank the Chicago Fire Department Paramedics & EMT's professionals who provide critical care to Chicago,' according to the Chicago Fire Department Foundation. President Gerald Ford started EMS week in 1974 to celebrate the lifesaving work of emergency personnel. Such lifesaving work ensured Frank, who now lives with a pacemaker, can still be around for her husband, children and family. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
