12. Sorry you are mistaken


She was originally booked on a direct flight that same morning but decided she would rather drop her kids off at school that morning and write them some notes. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/06/nyregion/06gotbaum.html

Apparently the decision to get her on a direct flight was a good one since she was incapable of handling being calm when bumped from a flight.

Sure, US Air should probably adjust their business practices and not overbook so much, and try to be accommodating to hysterical drunks and other people with special needs, but they are not to blame for her throwing her cell phone at someone, ranting and raving, failing to calm down when police intervene, and getting detained.

Her death was in the holding room and we have yet to see any evidence of who was responsible for it. The police say it was her -- lets see if the autopsy reports bear this out.
