George Latorre is suing American Airlines for allegedly spilling scalding coffee on his left arm during a flight from Vietnam to NYC, causing second-degree burns, blistering, peeling, and bleeding. The lawsuit claims that Latorre may suffer permanent "cosmetic deformity and scarring" and is experiencing "extreme pain and suffering, emotional harm, mental anguish, and distress."

He reportedly asked for a more comfortable seat but was denied and remained in economy for the rest of the flight. Latorre sought medical attention after landing in NYC, where he was advised to see a burns specialist. American Airlines has not commented on the pending litigation. Read more on TMZ
