Stewardesses Fight..Pilot Kick Everyone Off Plane

Bad weather wasn't the only thing slowing travelers down Thursday in New York. Passengers on a Delta Connection flight out of Rochester were delayed after two female flight attendants got into a fight on board the plane.
Dozens of frustrated passengers were forced off the flight and had to make alternative travel plans.
"Apparently, they got into a fist fight on the plane and the pilot decided to kick everybody off the plane," said one air traveler. "They told us we had to get off the plane because stewardesses were fighting."
Dozens of passengers on the Delta flight from Rochester to Atlanta were left to scramble to make other plans.
"You had someone who was getting married and was supposed to be in Cancun. There was a couple that was supposed to be on a cruise ship. Non-refundable. They left crying," said another traveler.
The flight was a Delta connector flight operated by Pinnacle Airlines. A spokesman for Pinnacle says the flight attendants will be kept off-duty, pending an investigation.
"The acts described are not acceptable," said Joe Williams, a spokesman for Memphis-based Pinnacle.
Hours after the flight, some passengers were till trying to find a way to get to where they had to go. But with a storm looming, some passengers said they knew there was a chance they'd be delayed, but not for this reason.
A spokesman described the fight as a "little" argument that started as the plane was returning to the gate after a passenger complained of panic attacks.

Blindfolded Husband's Surprise?? A Hammer Attack

Police say a wife wanted to surprise her husband. She blindfolded him and took him to a condo. Officers say that's where the surprise turned out to be an attack.

"The bottom line, it ended up with him being assaulted with a hammer," said Lt. Paul Jaroscak of the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Amazingly, the man, who was hit multiple times, escaped with only minor cuts to his head.

The attack took place in a condo in Holladay that belongs to the couple's in-laws, who weren't home at the time. The couple was apparently out on a date. They ended up in the basement of the condo, where the attack happened.

Lt. Jaroscak explained, "His story was that she had promised a surprise for him, and had actually blindfolded him."

The surprise Joel Ricks was expecting from his wife, Amy, probably isn't what he reportedly got. Amy Ricks, 34, allegedly hit her husband at least six times with the hammer before he ran out of the condo and called 911.

Meanwhile, Amy Ricks also left the condo and was on the phone with police.

"Our dispatch told her to wait at that point, and we found her and talked to her," Lt. Jaroscak said.

Amy Ricks was picked up about two miles from the condo.

She told deputies a different version of what happened. Investigators can't say how the husband's and wife's accounts differ because it's part of the investigation. But after hearing from both people, deputies arrested Amy Ricks for aggravated assault.

"In a 30-year career, I've heard about hammers being used in an assault, but it's been a long time," Lt. Jaroscak told us.

Joel Ricks is out of the hospital and back at home. He declined our request for an interview.

The case now goes to the district attorney, who will review it for charges and explore why a wife would allegedly attack a husband so violently.

Investigators with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's office say they have no reports of any problems between Amy and Joel Ricks. They are still looking for the hammer that Amy is accused of using in the attack.

JOKE: Two Generals were watching a battle

Two Generals of the Napoleanic era were watching a battle from a nearby bluff. Suddenly, a stray bullet struck one of them in the shoulder. Without an instants' pause, he turned to his aide - "Fetch me my red jacket," he commanded. As the aide rushed to comply, he turned to the other General, and explained that he didn't want the men to be demoralized by knowing he was wounded.

The other General was clearly impressed. At that moment, a cannonball shrieked between them, the wind from its' passing rocking them both back on their heels. After a moment, the second General turned to his aide, and ordered, "Fetch me my brown trousers ... "
