Arrested Delta Air pilot identified? Video from San Francisco airport reveals first details
Travel news outlet, View from the Wing, reported that officers 'stormed to the front' of flight 2809 after it arrived at San Francisco International Airport from Minneapolis at approximately 9:35 PM local time on Saturday. A video posted on social media revealed further details. US Department of Homeland Security officers could be seen taking the pilot away.
The pilot has, however, not been identified yet. A passenger told the San Francisco Chronicle that she witnessed at least 10 federal agents, including Homeland Security investigators and air marshals, storming into the cockpit.
'A group of people with badges, guns, and different agency vests/markings were pushing their way up through the aisle to the cockpit. It was rage-inducing to see someone being disappeared right in front of me," she told the outlet.
View from the Wing posted footage from the flight. Officers could be seen wearing plainclothes and badges. Their faces were not visible.
Neither Delta Air Lines, Homeland Security, nor TSA has reacted to the reported arrest yet.
A passenger told FOX 9 that the co-pilot was handcuffed and pulled off the flight.
'I looked at him and I said, 'What's going on?' He said, 'I have no idea'. And he genuinely looked like this was a surprise that all of a sudden there was people on the plane because he had had us stand up, we were starting to take our stuff out for arrival and everybody was already in the overhead bins,' the passenger said.

Fox Nation's Riddle reveals Jimmy Hoffa's lake house: Inside the quiet hideaway tied to his final day
Jimmy Hoffa's name usually brings up mob ties, mystery, and one of America's most infamous disappearances. But on Lake Orion, 40 minutes north of Detroit, there is another side to the man. 'This was his escape. When he came home, he was just Dad,' said his son, James P. Hoffa, as per Fox News. Fox Nation's new documentary, Riddle, brings viewers inside Jimmy Hoffa's Lake house.(X/@dvesean) Inside Jimmy Hoffa's lake house According to Fox News, tucked away along the shoreline sits a modest wood-frame house where Hoffa was not the Teamsters boss or a national figure-he was just Dad. The lake house, built as a family getaway, was where Hoffa mowed the lawn on his orange Simplicity tractor and watched TV on a big wood-paneled console. He would fix things himself, haul brush, lay cement, and sit by the water with his wife, Josephine, and kids. On July 30, 1975, Hoffa left this house for what became his final known day, and he never came back. Though the Hoffa family sold the property in 1986, much of it still looks like 1975 froze in place. His furniture remains. The books on the shelf have not changed. Even the concrete steps up from the lake still bear 'JO' etched in by Josephine. And the stone seawall, built by Hoffa and his son, has not budged. 'We did it together. My hands were raw. His hands were raw. But we got it done,' James said. Updates on Jimmy Hoffa's lake house Now, the house is in the hands of Susan and John Hagen. They plan to restore it, not flip it. 'We knew it was Hoffa's. We were the only ones who didn't want to tear it down,' said John, as per Fox News. Also read: Who is Harriet Sperling? NHS nurse gets engaged to King Charles' nephew The couple launched a Facebook page, Hoffa House Renovations, to share updates. So far, they have restored the handmade totem pole and uncovered long-hidden patios. Hoffa's picnic tables are still standing. As per the media outlet, John, a 40-year-old carpenter, plans to fix the sunken foundation and rebuild the carriage house from scratch if needed. 'The outside will look like 1975. Inside will be 2025,' he said. FAQs Have they ever found Jimmy Hoffa? No, his body has never been recovered. Why did Jimmy Hoffa disappear? He vanished after a meeting with mob-linked associates, but no one has ever been charged. Who was with Jimmy Hoffa when he disappeared? He was last seen alone in a Detroit-area parking lot; no one was confirmed to be with him. Who took over after Jimmy Hoffa died? Frank Fitzsimmons remained president of the Teamsters until Hoffa's official removal, then Jackie Presser later took the role.

Parents allegedly leave 10-year-old at airport to go on vacation after realising his passport expired
A woman claiming to be an air-operations coordinator at an airport in Spain alleged on TikTok that the parents of a 10-year-old left him at an airport terminal and went on with their vacation after spotting that his passport had expired. According to reports, the parents ditched the kid to board their plane and asked a relative to pick the boy up. The parents asked a relative to pick the kid up after leaving him alone in an airport in Spain. (Unsplash/ylucic) Lilian claimed that the boy was discovered alone by the authorities. '[The kid] told [police] that his parents were on the plane, on their way to their home country for vacation,' she claimed while speaking Spanish in the TikTok video, reports the New York Post. 'The explanation given was that the child was traveling with an expired passport from Spain, and needed a travel visa,' said Lilian. 'Since he didn't have a visa, they left the kid in the terminal and called a relative to pick him up,' she continued. The kid was reportedly found while waiting for his relative to pick him up from the airport. Lillian later claimed, 'I didn't see it as normal,' adding, 'The police didn't see it as normal either.' "How is it possible for parents to leave their ten-year-old son at the terminal because he cannot travel due to documentation issues?" Lilian continued. "They call a relative but the relative may take half an hour, about an hour, about three hours and they take the flight so calmly and leave the child behind!" According to a Fox News report, the airport authority contacted the pilot of the plane the kid's parents boarded. The pilot reportedly asked, 'If someone had left a child in the terminal and no one had answered, " but later, the parents were located, who were travelling with another younger child. They were reportedly taken to the police station to their son. 'I'm an air traffic controller, and as a controller, I've seen a lot of things, but this has been completely surreal,' Lilian said in her video. 'I'm amazed to think how parents could possibly leave their ten-year-old son at the terminal because he can't travel due to documentation issues,' she added.

Delta Airline Worker Records Explicit Videos Of Himself On Child Passenger's iPad
A Delta Airlines employee has been accused of swiping a child's iPad and using it to record pornographic images of himself that were uploaded to the cloud. Parents Tory and Brooke Brewer have filed a lawsuit against the airline worker in the US District Court in Charleston, according to a report in New York Post. As per the lawsuit, the family had boarded a Delta flight from Charleston, South Carolina, to New York City's John F Kennedy International Airport on July 19, 2023, before connecting to a flight in London. After the family arrived in London, they found they had accidentally left behind their child's iPad with a Peppa Pig case on the plane, in the seat pocket. The child's mother used the "Find My" app, and tracked the iPad to Queens/Jamaica, New York, after receiving random messages from the missing device. Just over a month after losing the device, the family noticed that the shared iCloud account was filled with pornographic videos showing a man "masturbating while in his Delta uniform and wearing his Delta name badge". The accused also managed to get into Brewers' Amazon account and created a profile titled 'Gay' that one of the couple's young children discovered. Family seeking damages Despite filing the complaint, the Brewers only received an automatic "no reply" email stating they were continuing to look for the iPad, the suit claimed. "What should have been a fun family getaway was riddled with confusion and anxiety over unauthorized access to their personal devices, a breach of privacy, and the transmission of highly inappropriate, explicit video recordings sent through their child's personal devices, something they never would have expected," read a statement from Brewers' attorney, Tola Familoni of Motley Rice law firm. The Brewers have accused Delta of negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, harassment, and even sexual assault. The family is seeking damages and accountability from the airline, alleging Delta failed to respond meaningfully to their concerns. "The accused individual is not a Delta employee but one of a vendor company," Delta told the outlet, without identifying the employee.
