It’s not right, and apparently it’s not okay for a passenger to belt a Whitney Houston song over and over again during a cross-country domestic flight.

The six-hour American Airlines flight from LAX to New York’s JFK airport was forced to make an emergency landing in Kansas City after a woman refused to stop belting out Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You.”

Despite an American Airlines staff member repeatedly claiming, “You cannot take pictures on the airplane,” one passenger was able to capture a portion of the incident on camera. (Watch video below)

“The woman was being disruptive and was removed from the plane for interfering with the flight crew,” Kansas City International Airport spokesman Joe McBride explained.

“There was a federal air marshal on the aircraft, who subdued the woman and put her in cuffs and removed her from the plane.”

The woman was later released without any charges. She was not allowed to continue on American Airlines to her final destination.

The woman reportedly claimed the incident occurred because she is diabetic.
