Good afternoon, friends of the blog Hunter Mystery!
A text circulated for years that the web is the story of a passenger who refused to sit next to a black one of the airline TAM, where the incident ends with a happy ending.
Does this occurred even disgusting act of prejudice or is it just another Internet hoax? Get into action Hunter Mysteries!
Let's check the original message below, without editing or spelling corrections that modify its structure:
Version 2009
"It happened on the Tarn, folks, is true! A white woman, approximately 50 years, arrived at his place in coach and found himself beside a black passenger. Visibly upset, he called the flight attendant. - What is the problem, ma'am? - Asks the Commissioner ... - Do not you see? - Replied the lady, you put me next to a black man. I can not stay here. You gotta give me another chair. - Please, calm down - the stewardess said, unfortunately, all seats are occupied. But I'll see if we still have some available. Commissioner withdraws and returns a few minutes later. - Lady, as I said, there is no other place free in coach. I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that we have no place in economic class. We have only one seat in first class. And before the woman made some comment, the Commissioner continued: - Look, it's unusual for our company to allow an economy class passenger sit in first class. However, considering the circumstances, the commander thinks it would be outrageous to compel a passenger to travel beside a terrible person. And turning to the dark lord, the Commissioner continued: - So sir, if you want, please take your hand luggage, as we reserve a place for you in first class .. And all the passengers coming, who attended the scene astonished, began to applaud, some standing. If you is racism, send this message to your friends, but not to delete without sending at least one person. "
Older Version
" The following scene took place in a British Airways flight from Johannesburg ( South Africa) and London. A white woman, about 50 years, came to his place in economy class and found himself beside a black passenger. Visibly upset, he called the flight attendant. - "What's wrong, ma'am?" Said the Commissioner. - "Do not you see?" - Said the lady - "you put me next to a black man. I can not stay here. You need give me another chair. " - "Please calm down" - said the stewardess - "unfortunately, all seats are occupied. But I'll see if we still have some available. " Commissioner withdraws and returns a few minutes later. - "Lady, as I said, there is nowhere else in the free economy class. I spoke to the captain and he confirmed that we have no place even in economy class. We have only one seat in first class. " And before the woman made some comment, the Commissioner continued: - "See, it's unusual for our company to allow an economy class passengers sit in first class. However, considering the circumstances, the commander thinks it would be outrageous to compel a passenger to travel beside a disagreeable person. " And turning to the dark lord, the Commissioner continued: - "So, sir, if you want, please take your hand luggage, as we reserve a place for you in first class ..." And all the passengers nearby that, stunned, watching the scene, began to applaud, some standing. "
So will the story is real or not?
In 2009, this message began to travel up interesting for our boxes input. Second the text of a passenger boards a plane 50 years of TAM, and reaching in its place, she refuses to sit next to a black passenger in economy class.
According to the e-mail, the commissioner has solved the problem of transient after talking with the commander. After awhile, the Commissioner would have said to the lady:
"See, it's unusual for our company to allow a passenger in economy class to sit in first class. However, the commander thinks it would be outrageous to compel a passenger to traveling alongside a terrible person. "
And turning to the dark lord, the Commissioner says:
"So, sir, please take your hand luggage, because we reserve a place for you in first class! "
The text, in the end, realized that all around applauded the attitude of the commissioner and, like any good chain, seeks to that retrace the story to friends.
The message is very interesting and in many cases we end up believing in this kind of text as being real without even giving ourselves the trouble to check before passing it on.
Without doubt, it's a pretty good story to be told in a circle of friends.
A parable with a happy ending for all those struggling against racism. But the story did not happen Real .
That's right! The story is false .
The airline company said, TAM does not confirm the story. The site
E-Farces contacted - via email - with TAM questioning the veracity of the text.
The company's answer was:
"CONTACT
-37510367 Sao Paulo, May 2011
Dear Mr. Gilmar,
received your e-mail sent to the service Talk to the President and we appreciate your attention to come contact us.
We learned of his remarks regarding the fact mentioned, but we would like to clarify that TAM has no record of what happened.
We want you to know that we remain, as always, available to hear your opinions.

As might be expected, the announcement also did not leave in any newspaper or website.
Which flight that happened?
Searching a little more, Gilmar discovered that this story is a variation of an older one that only the case would have happened with another company, a British Airways flight between Johannesburg and London.
this forum, in English, a member posted a story that would have happened at British Airways, but was denied by the SAC of the company. Below, the English version:
"On a British Airways flight from Johannesburg, a middle-aged, well-off white South African lady has found herself sitting next to a black man. She called the cabin crew attendant over to complain about her seating. "What" seems to be the "problem madam?" asked the attendant. "Can't you see?" she said " You've sat me next to a kaffir. I can't possibly sit next to this disgusting human. Find me another seat!" "Please calm down Madam." the stewardess relied. "The flight is very full today, but I'll tell you what I'll do-I'll go and check to see if we have any seats available in club or first class." The woman cocks a snooty look at the outraged black man beside her (not to mention many of the surrounding passengers). A few minutes later the stewardess returns with the good news, which she delivers to the lady, who cannot help but look at the people around her with a smug and self satisfied grin: "Madam, unfortunately, as I suspected, economy is full. I've spoken to the cabin services director, and club is also full. However, we do have one seat in first class." Before the lady has a chance to answer, the stewardess continues ... "It is most extraordinary to make this kind of upgrade, however, and I have had to get special permission from the captain. But, given the circumstances, the captain felt that it was outrageous that someone be forced to sit next to such an obnoxious person." With which, she turned to the black man sitting next to the woman, and said: "So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you..." At which point, apparently the surrounding passengers stood and gave a standing ovation while the black guy walks up to the front of the plane. .. people will forget what you said .... .. people will forget what you did .... .. But people never forget how Will You Made Them Feel. "
This variant was translated in English and a joke at some point was changed to get this version using the name of TAM.
So the story is false .
Stories like that populate the Internet for years. Some even try to pass any final message. Most of these messages only really exists to seize our e-mails to stay after sending us spam .
continue to investigate and bring information to you, dear followers and players, because I'm Luiz Ramos, HUNTER OF MYSTERY! Thank you all!
