Plane Makes Emergency Landing In Nashville Passenger Subdued After Threatening Other Travelers

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A jet that took off from Seattle bound for Atlanta made an emergency landing in Nashville after a passenger had to be subdued, according to Nashville International Airport officials. Officials said Paul Benjamin Paul Marchuk III was threatening passengers and quoting Bible passages while on board Delta flight 1050. Other passengers managed to subdue him.

Marchuk, 22, of Canton, Ga., was turned over to Metro Nashville police. According to a police arrest warrant, "The suspect would not allow the person sitting next to him to leave her seat to use the restroom. The suspect kept telling her that his blood would be on her and he was not going to let her leave no matter what happened. Several passengers restrained the suspect and the suspect attempted to bite one of the passengers in the leg."

No one on the aircraft was injured. The Boeing 757 with 178 passengers and a six-person crew flew on to Atlanta where it landed some 1 1/2 hours late.

Kick his ass. I am tired of people thinking they have the right to tell the rest of us what to do.

One of my nephews was somewhat like that.

He committed suicide after emotionally destroying his family over religion.

His family is now living happily and well.

Other passengers managed to subdue him.

Judging from the photo, it appears that "with enthusiasm" should have been added to the end of the above sentence!

looks like throttle marks around his neck. Also carpet burns as if he had been dragged out face down.

Subdued I guess.

I was on a flight from Tbilisi to Amsterdam when a Russian guy got very unruly and was quite drunk too. Just across the aisle from my son and I. Ugh. Yelling and trying to get violent with the attendants.

Wow. About seven men who looked like marines got up and surrounded him for the rest of the flight. I didn't see them while getting on the plane which was rather small. It was like they appeared from nowhere.

Kudos to KLA.

Yeah I agree, it looks as if they did work him over once or twice. Many airlines carry flex cuffs and medical restraints now to deal with unruly pax on longer flights where physically restraining someone while the plane diverts is unrealistic.

Works for me. Better than citing passages from the Koran.

They let this guy on an airplane and threw a six year old into reform school. What a Bizarro World! Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

So THIS clown was the reason my flight was cancelled yesterday!

I had to sit there for 3 hours hoping to catch another flight, which, luckily I did...

Ugh!

How many air miles from Nashville to Atlanta? Seems like they could have held him down for another 45 minutes.

If he’d been citing from that Book of Satan, the plane would’ve blown up before it reached Nashville.

Exactly. A shoe bomb, or an even more detestable tactic.

rectum bomb
