And now, Preston and Steve's news update with Kathy Romano.

Today is Thursday. It is December 9th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, a Philadelphia family is at the center of a viral Instagram video,

and they're asking followers who are on the American Airlines flight to share the footage showing them being kicked off the plane.

In the video, a woman holding her newborn is shown speaking calmly to a flight attendant before leaving Charlotte for Philadelphia.

The flight attendant is then heard explaining that the decision for the family to leave was made by the captain.

The family then tells the staff that the captain wasn't there to see what happened.

The father who recorded the video of his family being asked to leave the flight expressed his outrage and several Instagram posts.

While still recording, the father said, I just want this to be known that she has a newborn.

your staff members.

She did absolutely nothing.

It's unclear why the situation escalated to the point of the family being kicked off.

The father wrote in an Instagram post, American Air, your staff is absolutely disrespectful,

kicked a new mother and our seven week old baby, seven week old baby off of a plane

for absolutely nothing. We are coming for them. This is absolutely unacceptable. Please share. We need

answers. I need answers. ASAP. No explanation at all of what incited or started any of this.

No. And like if you see the video, like the woman is she's saying like, like, I don't know, like she's speaking low.

She's not raising her voice.

She's not yelling.

Like, it's, yeah, it's bizarre.
