Two teen girls have an American Airlines customer service agent to thank for protecting them from a seriously scary scenario in the summer of 2017. According to a statement from American Airlines, Sacramento, Calif.-based airline employee Denice Miracle grew suspicious as she began checking in the two unnamed girls — aged 15 and 17 — for a flight to New York City.
