Worth remembering this before everyone freaks out. Delta is still investigating. https://t.co/wwsw40vq8o

A Muslim YouTube star who has in the past been caught making hoax videos went viral this morning for claiming that he was kicked off a Delta flight just for speaking Arabic. Saleh claimed that he was “crying after I got off the plane.”
Some passengers have disputed some of Saleh’s claims. Here’s Delta’s statement:
Two customers were removed from this flight and later rebooked after a disturbance in the cabin resulted in more than 20 customers expressing their discomfort. We’re conducting a full review to understand what transpired. We are taking allegations of discrimination very seriously; our culture requires treating others with respect.
Whatever happened this morning, it’s certainly clear that Saleh enjoys being an annoyance on airplanes. Here are a couple other videos made by Saleh:

I have a hard time believing Delta's statement that 20 passengers found him to be disruptive on a flight https://t.co/bwWK6rvyMZ

Delta said some passengers reported a disruption, and that’s not entirely hard to believe.

Delta's statement makes it sound like that's what happened. But who knows.
