US airlines flight makes emergency landing after passengers spot lice in woman's hair

In a bizarre incident, an American Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New York made an emergency landing in Phoenix after passengers noticed lice crawling in a woman's hair mid-flight.

Passenger Ethan Judelson shared his experience on TikTok, describing the confusion and uncertainty among the passengers.

He mentioned that the crew provided limited information about the diversion, leaving everyone puzzled. According to People, the incident occurred in June.

In his video, Judelson described the scene: "I looked around, and no one was on the ground or panicking. I thought it couldn't be that serious. But as soon as we landed, a woman across the aisle from me jumped up and rushed to the front of the plane."

After the emergency landing, Judelson overheard hushed conversations among passengers. Eyewitnesses reported that two passengers had seen lice crawling out of a woman's hair and alerted the flight attendants.

"Apparently, those two girls saw bugs crawling out of the woman's hair and alerted the flight attendant," Judelson recounted in the TikTok video.

Upon landing, passengers were informed of a 12-hour delay and provided with hotel vouchers.
