American Airlines Mechanic Accused of Tampering with Plane
An American Airlines mechanic has been charged with willfully damaging, destroying or disabling an aircraft after he allegedly obstructed a tube underneath the cockpit with foam.
Abdul-Majeed Marouf Ahmed Alani reportedly sabotaged a plane at Miami International Airport one hour before takeoff in July. He allegedly wanted the flight to be canceled or delayed so he could collect extra money amid a union dispute, says NBC News.
