Where's the cup of salt to take along with this story?
I'd be just as interested in finding an alternate explanation, because this makes me extremely uncomfortable.There has undeniably been an increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the news.
I know this family personally. They are the last people I would ever expect to have body odor. They are very normal people. (Yes, SHOCKING, Detroit has normal people!)
crazy stuff! how many times did i actually sit next someone with Body odor and just lived with it
i can see everyone clicking on the link and in their mind they already imagine the face of a heavy Chosid, and then....
I was too hoping to read something more to this story, but even American Airlines is confirming the storyA statement from American Airlines officials to the Free Press stated, "The Adler family were asked to deplane last night after several passengers, along with our crew members, complained about their body odor. The family were provided hotel accommodations and meals, and rebooked on a flight to Detroit today."https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/local/michigan/2019/01/24/michigan-family-american-airlines-body-odor-southfield/2666303002/This is sad
But it wasn't.And how is rebooking then the next day on a flight with the same clothing going to make it better? They don't have any luggage...
So they are being asked to go off the plane and didn't inquire why they are asked off until they were actually off the plane?
Honestly, I would probably have done the same. I'm not a seasoned traveler and if a flight crew member demanded that I leave the plain I would probably have been confused, overwhelmed, feebly protesting but compliant. It would take some time for the outrage to set it.
