Jet returns to Dulles after passenger disregards instructions from the crew
Quote:
A United Arlines jetliner returned to Dulles International Airport on Monday night after takeoff when a passenger failed to comply with crew instructions, the airline said.
Local law enforcement officers met the plane at the gate at Dulles and detained the passenger, the airline said.
No passengers were injured and no weapons were found, said a spokeswoman for Dulles.
The airplane, Flight 1074, was carrying 33 passengers to Denver from Dulles. It was a twin-jet Boeing 737 with a crew of six.
The aircraft returned to Dulles about 10:40 p.m. “because of a disturbance” on board, said Kimberly Gibbs, the spokeswoman for the airport.
She said the passenger who was removed was “transported to a local hospital for evaluation.”
This just happened, my father was on the plane and took this picture. Will post videos and more pictures if people are interested. He was screaming and sprinting towards the cockpit. Several large passengers tackled him before he even reached the door.
Edit: this was after the plane had taken off for Denver, after this incident it was returned to Dulles.
Edit: screen grab of a video .. here's a shot of his face http://m.imgur.com/JgcWhzP
Edit: he claimed to have bombs on board when first taken down, they are still looking into it but i imagine it was most likely a lie
at the men beating the **** out of that man
I'm so glad that in these days, post 9/11, people are more willing to step up and beat the flying **** out of would-be hijackers if need be.
