| Cursing, beer-grabbing, emergency-slide inflating flight attendant a folk hero |
| 2010-08-11 |
A flight attendant whose profanity-laced tirade has turned him into a folk hero of sorts was released on bail Tuesday night from a Bronx detention center. Authorities say Steven Slater grabbed some beer and triggered an inflatable emergency chute for a dramatic exit from a plane at a JFK Airport terminal in New York. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said it "appears" that Slater was quitting during his intercom flameout Monday. It might seem that way. Unless you're a liberal. "It's a strange way to quit, let's put it that way," he said. "I don't think he'll be able to come back." Maybe not in the airline industry. But he seems like just the kind of guy we need in charge of Afghanistan right about now. Slater said as he left the facility that he appreciated the groundswell of support that has grown since the Monday incident, but declined to comment further. Why should he? He's already said what he had to say. |
