AVIATION

21 DECEMBER 2020: NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Antonio Murdock, 31, opened the emergency exit of a Delta flight from La Guardia to Atlanta as it taxied to the runway, activating the emergency slide. He and his female companion, Brianna Greco, 23, then slid down onto the tarmac along with their large service dog, Rain. The pair had reportedly changed seats a number of times and disobeyed crew’s instructions prior to the incident. The passengers and dog were uninjured, but Murdock was charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment, and Rain was placed in an animal shelter.
