An American Airlines passenger testified how she “wanted to die” after allegedly eating a lizard served up as part of an in-flight chicken dinner, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
Monserrate Luna, a beautician from Puerto Rico, said she absentmindedly popped the creepy crawler into her mouth while watching a movie onboard an American Airlines flight from JFK to San Juan in 2003.
After chewing for a while, she was unable to swallow the mystery meat and spit it into a napkin.
Her five-year-old son confirmed it was “an animal,'” she testified in Manhattan federal court Tuesday.
Airline lawyer Kenneth Gormley claimed the masticated mess was chicken skin, and that “there may have been some feathers, or what looked like feathers … but there was no lizard.”
