Introduction

Two bad things happened at Newark Airport recently. One was a problem with a passenger. The other was a plane accident.

Main Body

On Saturday, a man on a United Airlines flight was bad. He hit a flight worker. He tried to go into the pilot's room. Police took the man away. He may pay a lot of money or go to prison. Many people are acting bad on planes now. In 2021, many people were angry. Now, fewer people are angry, but it still happens. Other people tried to enter the pilot's room on different flights too. On Sunday, another United Airlines plane had a problem. The plane hit a light pole and a truck. The truck driver went to the hospital with small cuts. The people on the plane were safe.

Conclusion

Airports must work hard to keep people safe from bad passengers and accidents.
