AlaskaAir flight attendant arrested mid-air after sending panicked text saying ‘help, they’re trying to open the door’
A viral rumor that an Alaska Airlines flight attendant was arrested mid-flight for sending a panicked text about someone trying to open the emergency door is FALSE. Fact-checkers confirm no such incident occurred. The rumor originated from a fabricated social media post that was widely shared, but Alaska Airlines has no record of any like event. The real story involves a video from a past training exercise that was mislabeled and shared out of context.
