"Did tweeting get JetBlue passenger kicked off plane?" -Avery Alexander 6th period

On Tuesday, October 7, passenger, Lisa Carter-Knight was kicked off JetBlue's flight because her tweet was seen as criticism. Other passengers were making remarks about the plane's alcohol supply and bar, jokingly. The pilot took it very seriously and made everyone get off the plane because he thought that passengers were saying he was intoxicated. That was when Knight tweeted about the situation. The pilot took a sobriety test and he passed. JetBlue spokesperson said that she wasn't kicked off plane because of the tweet, because other passengers made tweets as well. They it was her behavior and disturbance. She was refunded to fly with another carrier.

I think that the tweet did get her kicked off the plane and not her behavior. Even though it doesn't say it, she probably created disturbance after she was denied access to the plane. If other passengers tweeted as well, wouldn't the other passengers be kicked off as well?
