A man was removed from a flight headed for Chicago for wearing a t-shirt with a curse word printed on its front.
Student Daniel Podolsky was wearing a t-shirt with the slogan ‘Broad F*cking City’ spread across his chest.
When the flight was forced to make an unexpected stopover in St. Louis due to weather conditions, Podolsky told Fox News a flight attendant requested he turn his t-shirt inside out.
Podolsky declined the request, but instead left the plane to use a toilet. It was only after he attepted to board it again that he was stopped for re-entering the aircraft.
Speaking to Fox News, Daniel said:
“It was only when I got back on the plane when it was going to take off…that I took my jacket off.
“And so [the flight attendant sent someone to remove me from the flight. It just happened so fast. Within 30 seconds, the flight was already gone. I would’ve gladly done so.”
Podolsky maintains he originally declined to reverse his shirt due to ‘freedom of speech’, but never expected to be removed from the flight.
