The JetBlue Incident

There's been a lot of uproar lately about Steven Slater, the JetBlue flight attendant who basically threw a hissy fit and quit his job is style. If you don't know about it, you can read all about it HERE.

So when this all happened, there were a lot of conflicting reports. All we really knew was that a JetBlue flight attendant got super pissed, yelled into the little intercom, jumped off the plane, and was subsequently arrested. We heard that he faces 7 years in prison... and JetBlue and the Port Authority basically said that what he did was extremely dangerous and he endangered the lives of everyone on board.

Based on the cries and uproar we heard that first day (I mean, 7 years in prison?!?), I formed an opinion that this is what had happened:

Yesterday, I finally saw a video of what happened... and I have to say, I was quite disappointed. Here is my artistic reproduction:

I really wish JetBlue and the Port Authority would stop acting like this guy almost caused everyone on board this plane to die a fiery and painfull death. They keep saying that he endangered all the passengers and someone could have been seriously hurt or killed. Uhh... no. The worst thing that could have happened here is that someone could have exited out the wrong door and experienced the glee and joy of bouncing down an inflatable slide. 

ACCUSATION: Endangering the lives of hundreds, ney, thousands of passengers on JetBlue flights everywhere and stealing 2 Blue Moon beers.
VERDICT: Guilty of forgetting the orange slices.
