“the man seemed to have anxiety before boarding the plane.”
The other people definitely had anxiety during the flight.
Jason Lake Kameroff. He told police he felt suicidal.
My first thought when I hear people say that is:
“Then kill yourself BY yourself. You don’t need to take a bunch of strangers with you. We don’t even know you!”
But I know most people in that state of depression are not thinking logically to begin with.
They should have stomped a hole in him while they held him down.
The first suicide booths will be set up at airports.
Youth scared to death - with no hope for his future BY the “atheist “academic-we-will-allow-no-God-in-your-world” in his first 20 years of life: Now scared to death of global warming, Covid, global warming, steroids, global warming, paint fumes, global warming, chlorine, global warming, salt, CO2, drought, cold, nuclear power, electric power, shrimp, racists .... And every white person on earth.
The pilots and co pilots should be armed.
If he yelled allahu ackbar authorities will spend years searching for a motive.
Small planes with no separation barrier between pilots and passengers needs to be addressed too.

And the passengers.
Archie Bunker wisely recommended that.
Unless that rollercoaster makes it.
Exactly, what you said. And while you are at it, don’t make a bloody mess of everything. Maybe just OD or something calm.
Sat in the copilot’s seat in a 10-passenger seaplane, 1969 Long Beach-to-Catalina daytrip with my girlfriend. Behaved myself.
If I were on that plane there would only be a need for a post mortem on the perp.
and can i add, don’t hold up traffic? Enough with people threatening to jump off bridges and buildings.
If you really wanted to end it, you’d end it.
“They should have stomped a hole in him while they held him down.”
I checked a number of sites for the incident and not one of them mentioned what type of shape he was in at the time of arrest. The only thing they said consistently was he was held down. They could have said the popular term of ground and pound but that would implicate aggression by a number of people that just had this moron try to kill them and he was on the ground and oh, so vulnerable. Hey, accidents happen. Bet they will never say anything about it as the airline is already dodging a public relations headache and Alaska in many places is still 1890’s Klondike.

Finding out that he left the cabin on a litter would renew my faith in humanity a little bit.
