US plane forced to land in incident with rampaging passenger
Apr 25, 2009, 13:27 GMT
New York - A Delta Airlines plane on a flight from New York to Tel Aviv was forced early Saturday to make an emergency landing in Boston after a passenger sought to force his way into the cockpit, the local television channel WCVB reported.
The report said that some 2 hours after the fully-loaded Boeing 767 plane took off, a man tried to storm the cockpit.
Five passengers managed to overpower him and keep him tied down with a safety belt until the plane could land at Boston's Logan airport.
The man was described as a 22-year-old Israeli.
Airport authorities ruled out terrorism as a motive. It was possible that the man had suffered an anxiety attack.
The man will go before an arraigning judge on Monday on charges of impeding air traffic.
The Delta plane had 206 passengers and 11 crew on board when the incident occurred. After a three-hour stop in Boston, the plane proceeded on its journey to Tel Aviv.

Nice, simplistic solution, from a simpleton. As is to be expected from idiots like you, you ignore the real problem. If you ever flew Delta Airlines, you'd go fricking nuts too.
(1) get rid of flight attendents
(2) replace them with the vending machines that are every bit as intelligent
(3) hire real, armed security...'seatbelts on motherf--kers!'
(4) if one of these assholes actgs up, kick the living sh-t out of him
(5) beat his ass like a red headed stepchild
(6) restrain his ass at the back of the aircraft
put him outside and make him flap his arms and fly on his own...tee hee
to idiocy and stupidity on this site is to take SPDrug Addict up in a plane and then toss him out at 10 thousand feet. Without a parachute, of course. He should splatter like the sh*t he is.
many more would second that.......
trying to get that door open and still fly at 10K feet...
just pull over to a cloud and let him out
I guess you've never gone sky diving. Your problem with the door is no problem whatsoever. Your problem is with blinkered, linear thinking. Don't go around creating imaginary problems. By the way, some guy comitted suicide last week by opening a door at 20 thousand feet and stepping out. Got any more problems you need solved? The Doctor is IN and charges only $400 per hour.
He must be waterboarded and interogated in order for us to determine if this zionist swine is part of a terrorist organization.
Who are you referring to, SP4? That would be the first bath he's had since that pig had it's way with him, giving him that terrible disease, Swine Flu.
people are getting their azzwhooped for acting up on airplanes. All is well.
The Son of Satan has been in residence at the Black House for barely 100 days, and, as God predicted, our country is rapidly unraveling. One of the first signs of pending Armageddon is that people start going berserk, just like the man on the plane. I can understand his illness, since the river of blood will be in Israel. Only the good Christians like me will survive. The only things I am surprised about is that The One has not yet turned the US into a communist lapdog puppet of Castro, and that He has not yet copenly called for his terrorist buddies to procedure with the destruction of the US. But, All this will come to pass in good time, I do so firmly believe.
...9% unemployment, reeling deficit spending, personal wealth in the tank, socialized corporations near bankruptcy, fed tax receipts in the toilet...
God...we've never had it so good!
nonesense, and that other stuff too. You know, sh*t. In the toilet, that's where SP belongs. Down and long gone.
