'I can bring the plane down': Model kicked off plane for punching attendant, making threats
A European model was removed kicking and screaming from a Condor Airlines flight after she snuck her cat on board and then punched a female flight attendant.
The woman, reported to be Czech model Zaneta Hucikova, allegedly hid her cat in her purse when she boarded a flight from Las Vegas to Frankfurt.
After being discovered, cabin crew decided to place the cat in the airplane’s toilet, at which point Hucikova allegedly blew up.
Passengers say she began screaming and shouting at crew and later hit a female attendant in the face.
"She looked a little crazy in the mind,” a witness told CBS.
“That lady wasn't happy with the crew putting their cat in the lavatory and then everything went wrong. She started screaming and shouting in the back,” another added.

Hucikova also reportedly told crew she was part of the mafia and that she would bring the plane down if she wasn’t reunited with her cat.
At this point, the pilot alerted authorities to the threat and two US fighter jets were scrambled to help.
The flight was then diverted to Denver International Airport.
On landing, Hucikova was escorted off the plane and is reportedly being held in an immigration detention centre on suspicion of a visa violation.
