Instagram fitness model Jen Selter tweeted a video of an American Airlines flight attendant asking her to leave a plane.

Selter said she got involved in an argument with a flight attendant who told her to remain seated after she stood up to stretch since she had been on a flight from Miami to New York, which had been delayed for two hours, according to CBS New York.

Police officers removed both Selter and two others from the plane.

I did nothing wrong, reads one of her tweets.













American Airlines calls the shots, an officer said in one of the clips. They dont want you to fly on their plane today.

American Airlines offered Setler a hotel room and transportation, but she declined both, CBS New York reported.

She told Page Six she's done with the airline.

"I will never ever fly American Airlines again," she said. "Ive seen cops come onto flights. But they shouldnt kick people off unless something is actually dangerous."

American Airlines sent a statement to Business Insider.

"Ms. Selter was asked to leave the aircraft after a disagreement occurred Saturday night at Miami International Airport (MIA), the statement said. American offered her hotel accommodations and transportation, which she declined. She flew on American Sunday morning back to New York (LGA) arriving around 8:30 a.m. ET yesterday morning."

Selter's removal comes just a few weeks after model Chrissy Teigens tweets over a fight on a different carrier went viral, though for a different reason. As the Deseret News explained, Teigen spent eight hours on a flight to nowhere, which traveled four hours toward Japan before turning back to Los Angeles. The plane turned around after a passenger boarded the wrong flight.

Several stories broke last summer of passengers being removed from airplanes. Back in April, United Airlines forcibly removed Dr. David Dao after he refused to leave his flight.
Its toxic: New study says blue light from tech devices can speed up blindness

It turns out checking Twitter or Facebook before bed is bad for your health.

A new study from the University of Toledo found that blue light from digital devices can transform molecules in your eyes retina into cell killers.

That process can lead to age-related macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of blindness in the United States, according to the researchs extract.

Blue light is a common issue for many modern Americans. Blue light is emitted from screens, most notably at night, causing sleep loss, eye strain and a number of other issues.

Dr. Ajith Karunarathne, assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, said our constant exposure to blue light cant be blocked by the lens or cornea.

"It's no secret that blue light harms our vision by damaging the eye's retina. Our experiments explain how this happens, and we hope this leads to therapies that slow macular degeneration, such as a new kind of eye drop, he said.

Macular degeneration is an incurable eye disease that often affects those in their 50s or 60s. It occurs after the death of photoreceptor cells in the retina. Those cells need retinal to sense light and help signal the brain.

The research team found blue light exposure created poisonous chemical molecules that killed photoreceptor cells

"It's toxic. If you shine blue light on retinal, the retinal kills photoreceptor cells as the signaling molecule on the membrane dissolves," said Kasun Ratnayake, a Ph.D. student researcher working in Karunarathne's cellular photo chemistry group. "Photoreceptor cells do not regenerate in the eye. When they're dead, they're dead for good."

However, the researchers found a molecule called alpha-tocopherol, which comes from Vitamin E, can help prevent cell death, according to Futurism.

The researchers plan to review how light from TVs, cellphones and tablet screens affect the eyes as well.

"If you look at the amount of light coming out of your cellphone, it's not great but it seems tolerable," said Dr. John Payton, visiting assistant professor in the UT Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry. "Some cellphone companies are adding blue-light filters to the screens, and I think that is a good idea."

Indeed, Apple released a Night Shift mode two years ago to help quell blue lights strain on the eyes, according to The Verge. The screen will dim into a warmer, orange light that will cause less stress on the eyes.
