Story summary
Selma Blair, 54, was arrested on October 11 after an incident aboard Delta Airlines Flight 938 from Los Angeles (LAX) to New York City's JFK Airport. According to reports, Blair allegedly hit one flight attendant and bit another during the flight before attempting to open the aircraft door mid-flight. The Port Authority Police Department responded upon landing at JFK, where Blair was taken into custody and transported to a hospital for evaluation; she is currently in stable condition. Two flight attendants also reported injuries, with one requiring medical attention. Delta Airlines stated they have "zero tolerance" for unruly behavior due to safety concerns. The FBI is investigating the incident, which could result in federal charges under "special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States." Blair's attorney claims her actions were a result of missing medication doses and hitting her head during the flight, leading to confusion and disorientation.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
