Three passengers had already uploaded videos. One caption: Elderly man assaulted by flight attendant for sitting in business class. The plane began to push back from the gate. Jessica poured herself coffee, checked her lipstick in the galley mirror.
Jessica Morrison moved through the cabin with confidence. She checked the overhead bins, smiled at passengers in first class, professional, polished, like nothing had happened. Derek Sullivan stood near the cockpit, his tablet open. He was typing the incident report, his version.
In seat 12B, Amanda Richardson clutched her phone. She was twenty-eight, a journalist. She'd recorded everything. Her video was already uploaded. Other passengers were typing furiously. The story was spreading, viral.
