Attorney General Ken Paxton today praised the efforts of Celina, Texas firefighter Andrew Needum. While on Southwest Airlines flight 1380, Needum ran to the aid of a fellow passenger who was critically injured during a mid-air accident.
“I am so proud of Andrew Needum and his courageous response during an unfathomable air crisis,” Attorney General Paxton said. “Although Andrew responded as any trained firefighter would, he acted heroically placing himself in harm’s way to attempt to save the life of a fellow passenger.”
