Another airline mask confrontation, this time with a musical component.
We have witnessed other passengers cheer when an unruly passenger is taken from the plane due to the increased number of passengers suffering from panic attacks during the pandemic. Rarely have people broken out into song.
This is what happened on Friday night aboard an American Airlines flight flying from Miami to Houston.
A video posted to Only in Dades' Twitter page, and taken by an observer, shows a dispute at the front. The post states that three people were asked to get out of the plane after a dispute over masks and a lengthy delay.

American Airlines spokeswoman, Monday, confirmed the incident to Miami Herald. She noted that only two people were asked to leave and didn't mention any delays. There were no arrests.

We are grateful to our team for their professionalism, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused by this.

Both before boarding and on the website, mask rules are clearly explained.
U.S. U.S. American Airlines, based in Fort Worth, Texas, warns that if you don't wear one, you could be denied boarding or future travel.
Federal mask mandates will likely continue to be in effect until at least 2022 due to an increase in variant cases.
