Entitled Delta passenger causes plane to return to gate after refusing to hang up phone before takeoff - New York Post
An entitled traveler forced a Delta plane to return to the gate because she refused to hang up her phone before takeoff — prompting outraged passengers to chant, “Get off the plane.”  Shannon Marie Harris, 46, was asked by flight attendants to end her phone call after boarding a Delta Air Lines flight from Miami International Airport to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport on Monday, April 27. But she refused and became “belligerent” just before takeoff, leading the pilots to turn the plane back around to the gate, where everyone on board was asked to deboard after she wouldn’t leave as asked, according to WSB-TV. Shannon Marie Harris, 46, was charged with trespassing. Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office Harris and another passenger, who was not identified, were taken into custody. A traveler on board captured the moment dozens of travelers groaned in unison after the pilot’s announcement that they would all have to deboard. As frustration boiled over, passengers began chanting “Get off the plane” at Harris, footage shows. “So we’re all supposed to listen and doesn’t?” one flyer asked aloud. “Please be considerate,” another chided. Passengers began chanting “Get off the plane,” video shows. Instagram/@atlscoop Flight attendants repeatedly had to tell passengers to “remain calm,” according to the clip. Harris was charged with trespassing and later released on a $500 bond. Delta Flight 1323 took off about an hour late due to the chaos.

Apple's diplomatic tariff refund strategy shows why Tim Cook is called the Trump whisperer - Business Insider

Tim Cook is positioning Apple to take advantage of tariff refunds as Donald Trump watches closely.The outgoing Apple CEO said on Thursday during the company's Q2 earnings call that Apple is "following the established processes" to apply for tariff refunds and plans to reinvest any money it recoups into US innovation and manufacturing. Those investments, he added, would be "in addition to our prior commitments in the US."Cook's comments show how Apple is navigating tariffs that have become both a cost issue and a political one — and underscore why he's earned a reputation as the Trump whisperer.Trump raised the stakes around those refunds in an April 21 appearance on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Asked about companies like Apple and Amazon, which had not yet announced plans to pursue refunds, Trump said the companies were "brilliant" if they didn't seek reimbursement, and their decision not to pursue tariff refunds served as evidence that they "got to know me very well.""I'll remember them," Trump added, signaling that the decision could carry political weight.Cook has maintained a notably close working relationship with Trump across both of his administrations, previously securing tariff exemptions for Apple products while pairing those efforts with high-profile US investment commitments.That relationship has helped Cook stand out among tech executives for his ability to navigate Trump's orbit without the same level of public friction, maintaining his direct line of communication with the White House while other tech leaders clashed more openly with the administration, Business Insider has reported.Apple's strategy — securing refunds while emphasizing domestic reinvestment — reflects Cook's careful balancing act between cost management and political optics.Other major companies are already cashing in on their refunds.

OpenAI nu a reușit să atingă mai multe obiective lunare de vânzări în 2026, conform bloomberg.com.
