By John Michael Ojo

Following their ill-treatment earlier in the year, three men alleging that they were discriminated against by a crew member over their body odour, have sued American airlines.

This was disclosed by American television NBCDFW, stating that the men who did not know each other, had boarded Flight 832 at Phoenix Airport to New York JFX.

It added that the men, who were all seated in the plane, were picked from their different positions and sent out following a complaint made by a white male flight attendant over their “offensive body odour.”

It also revealed that the men were eventually made to board the aircraft, when all efforts to have them board an alternative flight proved abortive after waiting over a period of an hour.

The lawsuit claims: “They had to re-board the plane and endure the stares of the largely white passengers who viewed them as the cause of the substantial delay.

One of the victims, Emmanuel Jean Joseph said that he “knew that as soon as I got on that plane, a sea of white faces were going to be looking at me and blaming me for their late flight of an hour.”

The Director General of the World Health Organization, WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has revealed how he escaped death by a whisker on Thursday from a deadly Israeli air strikes on an airport in Yemen’s Huthi rebel-held capital.

The Ethiopian-born public health expert who said his ears were still ringing from the effect of the bang, stated this during an interview on BBC radio on Saturday.

Tedros, 59, disclosed that the first missile struck the departure lounge of the airport next to where him and his colleague were seated before another brought down the control tower.

Narrating his near death experience, he said, “We heard a heavy explosion nearby, and then I think repeated. The sound was so, so loud… So deafening, actually. Still my ear rings. It’s already more than 24 hours now. I don’t know if it affected my ear. The explosion was so heavy.

“It was the departure lounge next to us that was hit, and later on the control tower.

“It was very chaotic. People were in disarray and running everywhere and no shelter: we were completely exposed.

“It’s a matter of luck. Otherwise, if the missile deviated just slightly, it could have been on our heads… my colleague actually said after all that, we escaped death narrowly.”
