Brittney Griner shows gratitude to flight crew on trip home to U.S.
Story by Joe Fisher •

Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Brittney Griner was excited to socialize after 10 months spent in a Russian prison, quickly taking to the flight crew bringing her home to the United States.

Roger Carstens, the State Department's Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs, told CNN that Griner was offered privacy during her flight home from the United Arab Emirates, but instead chose to speak with the flight crew for much of the 18-hour flight.

"I said, 'Brittany, you must have been through a lot over the last 10 months. Here's your seat. Please feel free to decompress. We'll give you your space," Carstens said. "And she said, 'Oh no. I've been in prison for 10 months now listening to Russian, I want to talk."
