ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A cross-country US Airways flight was diverted to Albuquerque after a male passenger removed his clothing mid-flight. Dan Jiron, a spokesman for the Albuquerque airport, said 50-year-old Keith Wright of New York disrobed Tuesday while sitting in his seat in the back of the aircraft. He said Wright was unresponsive when a flight attendant asked him repeatedly to get dressed and refused to be covered with a blanket.

Jiron said law enforcement employees who were passengers on the plane helped subdue and handcuff Wright before the flight landed. The FBI said Wright is in federal custody on a charge of interfering with flight crew members and attendants.

‘He said Wright was unresponsive when a flight attendant asked him repeatedly to get dressed and refused to be covered with a blanket.

Lol. So many jokes available.

Here I sit, asking why I clicked on this thread?

[sam_paine]

?how could he be ‘unresponsive’ and refuse to be covered with a blanket at the same time??

[TXnMA]

So the guy was too warm — and, instead of adjusting his overhead air vent, they handcuffed him — and called the FBI...?

Another drunk.

Wright was unresponsive

Ambien?

Why does it always have to be the 50 year old male? How come it’s never the 25 year old female?

Old nude dudes on a plane? Now that's terrorism!

Aren’t you supposed to put on pictures so we can decide whether he is guilty or not?

refused to be covered with a blanket.

That's because he was two tents.

I guess when you really want to go to Albuquerque, you will do just about anything to get there!

Ambien?

Certainly not Viagra.

How did he manage that? When I fly US Airways I barely have enough room to unwrap a stick of gum.

This bozo doesn’t understand the rules of joining the “Mile High Club”.

You cannot do it on your own.

[BunnySlippers]

Or a 25 year old male?

[pissant]

I’d have beat the sh*t out of him.

Sounds like he failed to secure his carry on baggage.
