Man tossed off flight after cursing in Detroit may sue
A Brooklyn, N.Y., man who said he was thrown off a flight at Detroit Metro Airport on Sunday for cursing is considering suing the airline, calling the experience "humiliating."
Robert Sayegh had a layover Sunday afternoon after attending a cousin's wedding in Kansas City on Saturday. The 37-year-old TV producer and children's book author said he and other passengers on Atlantic Southeast Airlines Flight 5136 to Newark, N.J., had been waiting at the gate for 45 minutes when he was overheard by a flight attendant telling a passenger next to him, "What's taking so (expletive) long to close the overhead compartments?"
The plane eventually taxied to the runway, but soon returned, where airport police boarded the plane and Sayegh was escorted off.
"I'm like, 'Are they throwing me off the plane?'" said Sayegh, who said he used the F-word twice. "This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever been through in my life. It's embarrassing."
Sayegh said he was told only after he left the plane that he was removed for being "disruptive," and airport police never filed a report.
"It wasn't like I stood up like a crazy maniac and was screaming, 'Move the plane!'" said Sayegh, who said he grew up in Brooklyn where "we curse as adjectives."
A spokeswoman for Atlantic Southeast Airlines, a Delta connection carrier, said the airline is "conducting a full investigation of the incident."
"The passenger involved was reaccommodated on a later flight," said Allison Baker. "We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."
Atlantic Southeast Airlines adheres to Delta's contract of carriage for passengers, which says the airline may refuse to transport or may remove people "when the passenger's conduct is disorderly, abusive or violent." A passenger also can be removed if he or she "appears to be intoxicated or under the influence of drugs" or "attempts to interfere with any member of the flight crew in pursuit of his or her duties."
Sayegh said he was hung over, but not drunk. He insisted he would never disrupt a flight: "My cousin was killed in 9/11. A lot of friends died in 9/11. I would never come close to doing anything like that."
Old couple charged with threatening neighbor over cat feces
An 83-year-old man and his 89-year-old wife were charged last week by North Middleton Township police after allegedly threatening to kill their neighbor when they found cat feces on their property.
Harold A. and Ruth C. Rought had been feeding stray cats in the neighborhood, police said. When they found the feces on their Pennsylvania Avenue property, they told police by phone and in person that they were going to shoot their neighbor, who they believe was responsible.
Husband and wife were charged with terroristic threats and harassment.
perhaps they got a little overwrought
JOKE: Moshe was taking to his psychiatrist
Moshe was taking to his psychiatrist. "I had a weird dream recently," he says. "I saw my mother but then I noticed she had your face. I found this so worrying that I immediately awoke and couldn't get back to sleep. I just stayed there thinking about it until 7am. I got up, made myself a slice of toast and some coffee and came straight here. Can you please help me explain the meaning of my dream?"
The psychiatrist kept silent for some time, then said, "One slice of toast and coffee? Do you call that a breakfast?

VIDEO: JETS FLYING LOW
First, a compilation video of US Air Force pilots purportedly in Afghanistan and Iraq trying some close shaves of their own. DUCK!
When measuring how insane a flyby is there are a few factors to consider beyond just distance from the ground. There's type of aircraft (in this case F-16s), where they're doing it, and just how much crap they'll take from their commander if the video is ever leaked (assuming the commander isn't the one doing it).
By these measures, these guys are both skilled and a little nuts.
Some of cockpit information has been blacked-out at their request, to avoid being identified.
Miami Cops Bust Cameras of Witnesses to Their Actions
A West Palm Beach couple who filmed Monday morning’s deadly officer-involved shooting on South Beach has accused officers of intimidation, destroying evidence and twisting the facts in the chaos surrounding the Memorial Day shootings – a charge that police officials say they know nothing about.
On Thursday, The Miami Herald spoke to the couple that saw the end of the 4 a.m. police chase on Collins Avenue, then watched and filmed from just a few feet away as a dozen officers fired their guns repeatedly into Raymond Herisse’s blue Hyundai. They say the only reason they were able to show the video to a reporter is because they hid a memory card after police allegedly pointed guns at their heads, threw them to the ground and smashed the cell phone that took the video.
The three-minute video captured on Narces Benoit’s HTC EVO phone begins as officers crowd around the east side of Herisse’s car with guns drawn. Roughly 15 seconds into the video, officers open fire.
Benoit filmed the incident from the sidewalk on the northeast corner of 13th Street and Collins Avenue, close enough to see some officers’ faces and individual muzzle flashes.
Shortly after the gunfire ends, an officer points at Benoit and police can be heard yelling for him to turn off the camera. The voices are muffled at times. The 35-year-old car stereo technician drops his hand with the camera and hurries back to his Ford Expedition parked further east on 13th Street.
The video shows Benoit get into the car, where his girlfriend, Ericka Davis, sat in the driver’s seat. He raises his camera and an officer is seen appearing on the driver’s side with his gun drawn, pointed at them.
The video ends as more officers are heard yelling expletives, telling the couple to turn the video off and get out of the car.
“They put guns to our heads and threw us on the ground,” Davis said.
Benoit said a Miami Beach officer grabbed his cell phone, said “You want to be [expletive] Paparazzi?” and stomped on his phone before placing him in handcuffs and shoving the crunched phone in Benoit’s back pocket. He said the couple joined other witnesses already in cuffs and being watched by officers, who were on the lookout for two passengers who, police believe at the time, had bailed out of Herisse’s car. It is still not known whether any passengers were in the car.
Four bystanders were shot in the gunfire and three officers suffered minor injuries.
Benoit and Davis said officers smashed several other cell phones in the ensuing chaos.
Benoit said the officers eventually uncuffed him after gunshots rang out elsewhere and he discreetly removed the SIM card and placed it in his mouth.
Officers again took his phone, demanding his video. He said they took him to a nearby mobile command center, snapped a picture of him, then took him to police headquarters and conducted a recorded interview while he kept the SIM card in his mouth. He insisted his phone was broken.
He was given a copy of a police property record receipt dated May 30. The couple has hired an attorney.
“We just want the right thing to be done,” Davis said. “That was just too much.”
Police Chief Carlos Noriega said the couple’s allegations were the first he’d heard of officers allegedly threatening people or destroying cameras or cell phones. If Benoit made a complaint, Internal Affairs would investigate, the chief said.
The scenes from the couple’s video that a reporter described to Noriega reflect the tension officers went through early Monday morning as they tried to get a handle on the pandemonium..
“I was there during the second shooting and it was quite a chaotic scene,” he said. “We were trying to figure out who was who and it was a difficult process. Not once did I see cameras being taken or smashed.”
He also said “a lot of our officers had their guns drawn, including myself.”
Noriega also noted that Benoit’s video is evidence and that it could help investigators.
But, Benoit said he is considering an offer from a website to sell the video.
Police say the chase Benoit and Davis saw began around 16th Street after Herisse hit a Hialeah officer with his car during a traffic stop and then peeled off down Collins Avenue, hitting or nearly hitting four other officers before skidding to a stop amid gunfire near 13th Street.
Police say they received reports that Herisse was shooting from his car, and on Wednesday they found a black Berretta 92-F semiautomatic pistol in his Hyundai.
Police also learned Thursday that he is believed to be the gunman in a November armed robbery at a BP gas station in which a clerk was shot in the face. Police say the clerk identified Herisse in a photo lineup after detectives recognized the slain 22-year-old in The Miami Herald.
Ballistics tests will be needed to prove that Herisse indeed shot the gun, and could take weeks.
But Benoit and Davis said that while they saw “bullets flying everywhere” as Herisse drove south for two blocks, the only ones they saw doing any shooting were police.
The couple was able to film the shooting because they were slowly driving north on Collins Avenue near 13th Street when gunshots rang out. They reversed east down 13th Street to get away from Herisse’s oncoming Hyundai.
“They were shooting at him the whole time,” Benoit said.
Large bolt falls from sky, pierces metal roof and ceiling, landing on floor
When Nick Lanzara walked into work at HG Hardware in Aurora, Illinois Thursday morning, he could hear water rushing through the ceiling tiles and flooding the floor.
“I walked back to where the noise was coming from, looked up, and I saw the sky,” he said.
A 6-inch bolt, weighing about a half-pound, apparently had fallen from the sky, pierced the building’s metal roof and ceiling tile and landed on the floor of the store. Rain was pouring in through the hole it left in the roof.
“I thought it was a lightning strike,” Lanzara said — until he saw the hole, shaped exactly like a bolt.
On the floor, co-worker Diego Menchaca found the culprit: The rusty, beat-up bolt sat just beneath the hole on the floor of aisle 5.
Employees assume it fell from an airplane, but aren’t sure.
A Federal Aviation Administration spokesman said objects do occasionally fall from planes, though often there’s another explanation for fallen objects reported to the agency.
Mother gives boob job voucher to daughter, 7
An English mother dubbed "the real life Barbie" has given her daughter a voucher for breast implants for her seventh birthday.
Sarah Burge — who claims to have broken the world record for having the most cosmetic procedures — said she gave her daughter the $9000 voucher after she pleaded to have the operation.
"Poppy begged me for a boob job, so I gave her the voucher so she can have it after she's 16, when it's legal," the 50-year-old mother told Closer magazine.
The mother of four said her youngest daughter squealed in excitement when she got her present.
"I wanted a new computer, a holiday and a voucher for surgery," the seven-year-old said.
"All my friends were jealous. I can't wait to be like mummy with big boobs."
Mrs Burge said she wanted to make Poppy into a glamor model.
The expensive gifts were part of a lavish $18,500 "pamper party" Burge threw for Poppy and seven of her friends, where they were given manicures, pedicures, makeovers and drank fake champagne in a hot pink party bus.
Mrs Burge, who has spent $800,000 on cosmetic procedures for herself, recently made headlines after admitting she had started giving her 16-year-old daughter Botox injections when she was only 15.
Burge has three biological daughters, Poppy, Hannah and 25-year-old Charlotte, and step-daughter Jazzy, 17.
Mrs Burge has been the subject of a Japanese television series called Life As Barbie and has made a series of YouTube videos advocating for young people having plastic surgery.
Her website describes her as "British upper class, outspoken, demanding, gorgeously wacky and totally plastic apart from the boobs".
