She is such a ball of crap! She has been whipping up crazy stories about airlines for decades while she has been suing them (the news people never disclose that she is an attorney who sues airlines.)
She has really said some crazy stuff over the years. I remember her freaking out back in the day when she saw a mechanic working on a plane with "car tools." (He was using a screwdriver to replace a nav light.) She had a live remote going about that one.
And the best one:
When Egypt air had that breakup and crash over the ocean, Mary showed up with pics of a Cirrus floating safely back to earth on a parachute-and she was screaming about how negligent it is for airliners not to come with parachutes!
She is a real piece of work. If "journalists" did their jobs-and checked her out, she would never be on TV in the first place. I could go on an on about stuff she has said (hell-she was on air spouting nutty stuff full-time after that Malaysia crash.) She really has a long history of being a nutter on aviation stuff. Bad combo of arrogance and very little (if any) technical knowledge.
-But we all know that modern media is more about sensationalism than anything else. Whomever screams the most and spouts the most crazy, irresponsible stuff gets the air time.
I am amazed that she hasn't been disbarred. Spouting all the crazy stuff on TV and then suing the airlines and various other industry entities is so incredibly unethical.
