In footage taken by another passenger and shared widely online, Adam Jenne can be seen wearing a pink thong over his face as he sits in his seat before the flight from Fort Lauderdale to Washington took off.
A man has kicked off a flight in the US for wearing women’s underwear as a face mask. Adam Jenne was ordered to disembark the United Airlines flight following his stunt -which he suggests illustrates the “absurdity” of having to wear a face-covering on a plane until it reaches cruising altitude.
A flight attendant can be heard saying: “You’re going to have to come off the plane. We’re not going to let you travel.” Mr. Jenne, from Florida, can then be heard asking “Why”, as the staff member replies: “You’re not in mask compliance.”
The 38-year-old’s removal from the plane than can be seen to spark a show of support from other passengers, with several reportedly getting up to leave.
One can be heard saying: “Did he just get kicked off for wearing a mask. I’m out of here, forget it. I’m out of here.” Mr. Jenne later said he had pulled the stunt to highlight the “absurdity” of mask-wearing rules on flights.
