They would undoubtedly have to dump significant fuel before landing.
In addition to all the other documents need to fly, perhaps a mental health certificate should be included.
Couldn’t they have tied him down or given him a shot or something?
Anyone else notice, that the writer of this article went out of his or her way, to avoid any gender pronouns for the individual causing the disturbance?
Hypoglycemic, maybe? I’ve seen that send people off the deep end.
AVIATION PING!......................
“They” had a baby with them, geez if its one of those “they/them” freaks no wonder
The person’s name needs to be on a list of those NEVER ALLOWED TO FLY ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AGAIN.
The cost to the airline and its passengers for this childish behavior is incalculable.
I am sure this behavior is also criminal.
Dude, you were going to Italy. Just eat the crappy in-flight meal. You can have excellent food in Italy. š
Whadda d-bag.
They tried to give him the fish.
Y’all know duct tape and a little physical kinetics work wonders.
After 9/11 I’m sure flight attendants will find lots of help.
let the cops sort it out at the landing.

"We appear to have a passenger on board whose infantile and unruly behavior regarding their in-flight meal, and having a baby in an exit row seat, is unacceptable to the point where we will have to turn the plane around and take you all back to NYCity.
"Since this will undoubtedly cause you all immense inconvenience and cost, just because of this individual's tantrum, I hereby invite you all to get out of your seats, form a line, and one by one, do whatever you think is necessary to convince this individual to refrain from further disruption.
"Attendents, please advise me when the individual has been sufficiently calmed. Thank you."
Cue the similar scene from "Airplane"....
Iām guessing muzzie.
Maybe got pork.
So how is anyone going to get anywhere if we have to turn around for illegals on board (judge ruling while in midair) and now for any out of control passenger (which means half of the people we pass during a day).
Where is the Belize flight solution to these issues ?
You can’t just re-direct every plane with a nut case on it.
RE: passenger tantrum over in flight meal....
“First you give us bland avocado toast and then the lunch entree is the most tasteless sea bass I’ve eaten in months.”
Hog tie hands and feet and continue. An aborted flight like that probably cost the airline $100,000 or more.
I watched the linked CBS report. The man was released by the police with no formal charges!!!
It was a great inconvenience to the passengers. The plane landed in JFK airport at 3 AM!! Passengers claim they got no help from the airport staff, but they did get a flight the next day to continue to their destination.

This is another reason why I no long fly, and generally stay close to the compound. Going into public is a big no thank you if I can possibly avoid it.āŗ
Last time I was at a park in S. CA I watched this guy who appeared to be with his family. Dad, mom and two obese males, about 11 and 8. Dad was teaching one of the boys to ride a bike which had training wheels. Yep. And the kid on the bike was screaming at Dad to give him his phone back. I paraphrase, “Gimme my phone back you f****r.” The other kid was yelling at mom about something. A quick thought jumped in my head...Leave this place now.
