Air Tran Airways gets sued due to cockroaches on flight. A flight from North Carolina to Houston stressed out Harry March and his fiancee Kaitlin Rush when they witnessed cockroaches coming out of the air vents and storage areas on the flight. The flight attendants were too busy to do anything about the unsightly creations. They saw the cockroaches on September 15, within minutes of take off. They are suing the airlines for $100,000 plus the price of the tickest. Marsh and Rush became nauseous and don't want to fly any more.
