I'll box it myself. And then Ammani Hail said the thing that undid Dileia Marsh completely in an aisle in front of a purser at 36,000 ft. Are you going to tell my mom? Am I? Because she'll think it's her fault. Immani's voice was very steady and very quiet for not coming.
She already thinks it. She's been weird about it for a week. Dileia Marsh had been flying for 19 years and had been spoken to by approximately 2 million passengers and could not at that moment produce a single word. She's going to find out, Anton said gently from behind her. Sweetheart, there's a report.
She has to. I know. Immani turned and looked out past her sister at the wing. I just don't want her to think it was because she wasn't there. Dileia went into the galley and shut the curtain and stood with both hands on the counter for about 20 seconds.
Then she came out and did her job. She took 11 statements between 510 and 6:40. Row two, both seats. Row four, three passengers. Row five.
Row six. Byron Ferris said he'd seen it, described it accurately, and signed. Row seven and nine. Two of the teenagers who told her about the video and got a very specific instruction they ignored. Anton took another six from further back.
17 written statements from a single in-flight incident is an extraordinary number. Most disturbances generate two or three because most people don't want the hassle and because most people honestly would rather not have been there. 17 people on Kestrel Air 812 wanted to have been there. At 6:52, Margarite Vance pressed her call button. Anton went because Dileia was not going to.
I'd like to apologize to them. Margarite said. Anton considered this for a moment. No, ma'am. He said, "Excuse me.
Those children are in our custody and you made physical contact with one of them. I'm not walking you back up that aisle." He said it without heat. If you'd like to write something, I'll pass it to the report. But you don't go near row three again on this aircraft. Margarite Vance sat in 11D with her hands in her lap.
