American Airlines Co-Pilot Under Suspicion of Being Drunk - Olivia Browne Period 6

A co-pilot for American Airlines was detained at Detroit Metropolitan Airport Saturday morning on suspicion of being drunk, an airport spokesman said. The co-pilot was taken into custody after allegedly failing a Breathalyzer test administered by airport police, according to airport spokesman Michael Conway. As a result of the incident, American Airlines canceled Flight 736 from Detroit to Philadelphia on Saturday.

Analysis: The Author is Azedah Ansari and she appears to be a non-bias party. This article was created on March 27th, right after the incident had taken place, adding to the urgency. I had no prior knowledge of this event. The Audience is the concerned American public and this story has a negative effect on them. The reason for writing this article was to educate the American public on these occurrences. This directly relates to the Prohibition Movement and what they tried to prevent.
