This is like every movie where some crazy person is freaking out, and then you find out they're telling the truth.

[keylimezel]

This just seems like a way for the government to warn us to keep our heads down and not make a scene if we see something wrong. We can see how she was humiliated and labeled as crazy when it’s clear as day she wasn’t trying to just get attention or hurt anyone. I don’t understand why after getting off the plane the airport security were treating her like she was acting malicious when she was warning them of a possible threat on the plane. Isn’t that their whole job to take those things seriously?

[someguyes]

She either did see something unsettling, or she was having a mental health crisis. There is no justification for vilifying her in either case. There was no malice here.

This lady definitely saw something! I believe her! She wasn’t slurring her speech or stumbling or showing drunkenness in any other way. She was definitely spooked by something that she perceived to be a threat, and I admire that she felt genuine in what she was trying to warn others about. If there truly was a threat to that flight, I think the inconvenience everyone went through may have been worth it. Her terror was as real as can be IMHO.

[alicemanko]

They dont realize that she saved their lives because she spoke out against the evil she saw. She is not crazy, she is real.

[jgsrhythm]

Her drinking has nothing to do with her reaction. She was not slurring her words.

Homeland Security has a national campaign, "If You See Something, Say Something®" (sic). This woman thought she saw something, so she said something. You can't blame her, much less charge her criminally, for following the instructions of our security agencies, posted in signs at every airport.

People don’t hallucinate on alcohol. She may have had alcohol but that alone doesn’t explain her behavior. Most drunks are belligerent. She wasn’t. She seemed legitimately fearful.

If this happened 20 years ago, no one would be talking about it as social media makes everything we do available for millions to dissect and pass judgement.

[bjlyon]

It’s not like she held passengers at gunpoint. Something spooked her. Isn’t being publicly shamed punishment enough?

[timgerritsen]

I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I hope Robby never has anyone with Mental Illness in his family. This woman was having some kind of episode, be it temporary or longer term and it was scary for her. Not nice to name her and shame her.

[PaulRising]

We shouldn't be labeling people "crazy." We should be showing compassion.

[brianbaratheon]

Robbie calls himself a libertarian?? "Freedom for you unless I'm slightly inconvenienced." 😂 Such a Karen take, too.

[FelicianoMediaCo]

Bruh Robby, alcohol never ever made me confuse reality and imagination. 🤣🤣🤣 Not even Absinthe 🤣🤣🤣 On the flip side, I believe her. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

[joshuasoucie]

Robby, the fact that you think some random person owes the world an apology for having an "inconvenient" breakdown (whatever the reason) is wild to me. 😂 The entitlement is unparalleled.

Having to face the consequences of one's actions is enough. Regardless of the offence, no one benefits from a shame parade. I hope you find a way to address your unrelenting standards before they take a toll on your mental health, fellow journo. 💛

[unitedstatesofmordor]

People are only interested in what she claims to have seen.
That's it.

[ATRAXXUSA]

Why do we paint people as crazy, alcoholics, or drug abusers when they say they’ve seen something odd? Why not consider what they actually saw was real?

[greendragon]

What if she saw what she said she saw? What if he wasn't human? How brave she was to stand up and warn everyone. Did anybody investigate that guy?

I was on a plane in the 70s and saw a figure of a captain who i thought was looking upset and very agitated. I asked the steward is the captain ok..he said the captain has not yet boarded the plane. I said well i just saw who i thought was the captain and she went pale and said i was the 4th person to say that. I felt very upset and got off the plane. Later i got another plane and found out the plane i left had an engine burn out during that flight and had to emergency land just making it in to JFK.. a friend who worked in maintenance said the galley kitchen area came from a crashed on runway plane wer the captain died on crashlanding his plane...VERY VERY QEERR INDEED. You hear of these things the crew members die and give some kind of beyond death warnings to any future crashes or dangers...

[americancapitalist]

If you travel often, chances are you’ve had a little too much to drink in-between flights. But I’ve never had an existential crisis where I saw people who “weren’t real”. The fact she hid for over a month, then came out with some lame excuse about stolen headphones tells me we won’t ever find out what actually happened. Not saying it’s aliens, but something terrified her enough to get off the plane.

[eviedson]

Robby is the absolute most close minded person in the world. Bro is so incredulous about absolutely everything and makes unfounded conclusions instead of simply saying idk.
