Jewish Family Savaged
The Blums were eating a kosher meal they purchased at a
restaurant before boarding the United Airlines flight from Denver to
Columbus, when a flight attendant asked the family to quit eating.

Vicious Stewardess
The stewardess told Blum, 'I don't want you eating that food on the plane,'"
She told him passengers were
complaining about the smell of the fish.
Blum quotes the stewardess
"I don't want the food on the plane. If you don't trash the
food, I'll trash you." You, your wife and your kids, will be
off this plane!'"

The Pilot Storms Down The Aisle
Blum says the pilot told him, 'Are you going to give us any more
trouble because I have to worry about 220 passengers smelling your
stinking food?'"
The confrontation created a scene on the plane, forcing Blum to throw
the food away when the pilot threatened to throw the family off the
plane.

The Frightened Child Cried
Blum humbly put the food in the trash, and
begged to stay on board. Suddenly
his frightened teenage son starting crying. The other passengers
'coldly' looked on.

Blum Talks To Reporters
Robert Blum told reporters at WBNS-10, "As you can see, I wear these holy fringes. I wear a kepa. My son
wears a kepa. Maybe
that's what the steward saw. And I am sure it was. Because why did
she single us out?"

He Might AS Well Wear A Star
"I was about to cry simply because of seeing my kids like that.
It was terrible." Blum calls the incident a classic case of
discrimination.

UAL Offers Apology
United Airlines offered its apology to a Columbus, OH family who
said they were humiliated for eating fish onboard a flight Friday.
"What can they do? They going to give me a free ticket to Hawaii?
That won't take away the humiliation and pain of watching my
children suffer and the embarrassment we all felt."
United Airlines apologized to the family, admitting flight crew
acted inappropriately.
