Passenger Disrupts Flight, Allegedly Attacks Crew and Swallows Rosary Beads
An American Airlines flight was forced to return to Savannah after a passenger exhibited violent behavior, citing spiritual warfare as the cause.
- Delange Augustin, 31, was charged with multiple offenses after allegedly attacking flight attendants and disrupting a flight from Savannah to Miami.
- The incident began less than a minute after takeoff, with Augustin exhibiting erratic behavior initially mistaken for a medical emergency.
- Augustin reportedly kicked a flight attendant in the chest, causing significant disruption, and later punched another crew member after the plane landed back in Savannah.

- The flight eventually resumed its journey after a three-hour delay, with Augustin taken into custody and evaluated for ingesting rosary beads.
