Aug 16, 2018 by apost team
A stewardess tried to have a mother of twin newborns thrown off a plane because of a technicality, but someone stepped in and saved the day.
It's good to see acts of humanity in times of such cruelty and lack of empathy. A mother of two newborns almost got kicked off of a plane recently. If it wasn't for a complete stranger stepping in, she may have been forced to get off of the plane with her two babies in her arms.
She was the last person that one would expect to be thrown off of an airplane.
Usually, it's someone who tries to get on the airplane intoxicated, or it's a belligerent person. You wouldn't think a mother of two newborns would be the target in this case, but perhaps some of the passengers didn't want to hear her babies crying.

Airplane rides are stressful for everybody, especially newborn children that don't understand the changes that are going on around them. The babies had a hard enough time adjusting to their temporary new environment. To add insult to injury, it appears that the flight attendant took issue with the woman and her children.
She was extra firm about some of the rules and was ready to toss the family out over a technicality.

She told the woman that it would be a safety hazard to do so. The mother was going to have one of the twins sit in a car seat right by her side, but the flight was packed so there was no way that she could do that. The woman was getting ready to get kicked off of the plane with her two babies simply because of that technicality. The flight attendant had no problem telling the woman she was going to have to leave.
To make matters worse, it seems as if no one was going to come to her aid. As stated before, maybe nobody wanted to sit next to the crying babies.

This is what caring people do when they see that someone is in need of assistance. It's good to know that the world still does have a few people like this left in it. The woman and her children got to stay on the flight, and they probably made a new friend.
The moral of the story is for people to step in if they have the ability to help someone who needs help. Instead of turning a blind eye to it or contributing to the person's suffering, more people need to lend a helping hand. Pass this heartwarming story to the people in your circle and remind them of what empathy and compassion are.
