An American Airlines mechanic is accused of sabotaging a flight over stalled union contract negotiations.
The plane, with 150 people on board, was scheduled to fly from Miami to Nassau in the Bahamas on July 17. As the pilots powered up the plane at Miami International Airport, they saw an error message for a system that tracks speed, nose direction and other critical flight information and aborted the takeoff.
The person was later identified by co-workers as Alani, in part by his distinctive limp, the affidavit said. Alani explained that stalled contract negotiations between American Airlines and the mechanics' unions were hurting him financially, and he tampered with the plane"to cause a delay or have the flight cancelled in anticipation of obtaining overtime work," Ruiz wrote.
it was a muslim and it was not over a contract
Who cares
A good muslam
Sure it was, lie, lie, lie that’s all the media does
Omg!
Actions like this type of workers against employers backward activity, has bankrupted many good airlines in past sixty years.
I have a very hard time believing that someone named Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani would do that.
This is nothing new I was working for there tower control 1 month ago the cleaners do the same thing, and they leave the aircrafts unsafe and not safe to fly in. Do not fly with AA former employee.
Union workers only care about themselves ,screw them
No he is a terrorist get the story right
I don't care why he claimed he was doing it and personally don't believe or care, he should be charged with terrorism.
This disgusts, 'Alani said he tampered with the plane 'to cause a delay or have the flight canceled in anticipation of obtaining overtime work,' Ruiz wrote.'
'Alani worked both for American & Alaska Airlines until Alaska fired him in 2008 after several errors including failing to verify that repairs were working and installing the wrong battery on a plane.' Why did American Airlines continue to employ him after that?
Finish the story... what was his name?
You sure it wasn't ISLAMIC TERRORISM
🤔 Uhmm... Now I'm def not flying. train
That piece of shit is an insult to every airline employee and retiree as much as he is to American Airlines. May he be banned from flying on any airline and banned from setting foot in any airport for life. americanair americanairlines
You WHAT ?
What I take from the story this man doesn’t need an interpreter at work apparently only in the courtroom !!
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
Democrat democrating
Time long past for unions, crap like this will expedite their demise.
Lock him up in federal prison
How reckless and unfortunate....
Yeh, unions are awesome.
Wtf
Crazy
😢
abcnews if it was a white male who did this, you would have proudly said it in the headline... 😆🤣
That’s really dumb since he depends on the good name of AmericanAir for a job.
Do the right thing airlines contracts
Mechanic should be charged federally for a terroristic act.
HE IS CRAZY RECHECK ALL THE PLANES HE WORKED ON
A good thing is that no terrorist works as an airplane mechanic. The TSA should watch closely on these notorious people.
25 to life is the only punishment he deserves. Anything else is a joke
Liberal unions and a criminal Muslim could have caused an horrific accident! Put him in prison for a terrorist attack!
Another radical Islamist. Imagine my surprise
Good call putz
Unethical! People could have died because of the AmericanAir mechanic . He needs to face charges. I'd also have him at the negotiating table so he can have a better understanding of the process verses behaving like an old union ganster .
isnt this just a wonderful statement of our current state of affairs (thanks to every democrat),,,,,if you dont agree with things,,,,,,,,put everyones lives in danger or to an end,,,because you idiots have made it acceptable for the ends to justify your lunatic democratic means.
The mainstream media quick to cover up 👇
War criminal to be honest.
Throw him in jail for 5yrs
Guys name is Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani.... No joke that's his actual name. You know he's using the stalled union contracts to cover up the terrorism he wasbtry to commit.
