safety and escorted her to an interview room. this isn't the first time we've seen a flight attendant making headlines with outrageous behavior. remember jetblue steven slater's infamous bleep you to a rude passenger before he slid down the emergency exit and the american airlines stewardess who lost it on the p.a. system. in this case the crew suggests the flight attendant be taken off the crew. american airlines stands by its statement that it's investigating the incident. >> surprising she was on both flights. >> that's what i was wondering, both legs. glad everyone is okay. now to something we've been talking about here, it's a big topic of conversation in our homes, potential concerns about hoverboards. reports of one of the hottest gifts this holiday season catching fire and abc's gio benitez has that story. >> reporter: they're one of the hottest gifts this holiday season but could they pose a threat of fire? one louisiana family now alleging that their home was

family experience, i just want jones 5. you're all in. it's happening? >> how much? no, it's not about the money. i would love to do another indiana jones and work with stephen again and if we get a script, i'd love to do it. >> i think he said he wanted you to do it before you turned 80. >> i'd like to see me do it before i turn 80, yeah. >> harrison ford, always a pleasure. thank you so much for stopping by. >> thank you, amy.
