New Hampshire resident Lisa Carter-Knight said she was kept from boarding a flight she had a ticket for on Tuesday night after she tweeted about an incident involving a pilot who said he was accused of being drunk.
Seacoastonline.com reports that Carter-Knight, a single mother, was stranded at Philadelphia International Airport because the pilot of a JetBlue flight to Boston was upset by her tweets. She reportedly chronicled a dispute between the pilot and another passenger who made a joke about the pilot drinking on the job.
Here's a quick look at the series of tweets that reportedly got Carter-Knight kicked off the plane. She eventually made it home on another flight.
