“Plane Makes Emergency Landing At DIA After Disturbance
Man Tries Opening Door While Plane In Flight”
Ryan Budnick, 7NEWS Assignment Producer

DENVER —
SNIPPET: “A passenger, Casey Coleman, told 7News that flight attendants directed all of the females to the back of the plane and all of the males to the front. Coleman said a flight attendant ordered the men to hold down the passenger over the intercom.”
SNIPPET: “Denver Police spokesman John White said officers met the plane at a gate at DIA and took the man, who is not being identified, into custody. White said the man could face federal felony charges.”
Achmed Abdullah Mohammed Barak Hussein?
Islam a mental disorder?
Someone on another thread had either been on the flight or knew someone who had, and he said the man got up and tried to open the door because he thought he was on the wrong flight! According to the poster, the would-be door-opener was beaten by the passengers in the course of subduing him, so I guess he must have resisted attempts to get him away from the door. No identification or description, but he sounds like he was either crazy or drunk.
I guess he thought he was going to leap out the door and catch a passing plane to his real destination (which, hopefully, was not Islamic paradise and his 72 raisins).
Sounds like muslim.

SNIPPET: “Holloman described the passenger as about 6’ 1” and up to 270 pounds with blond hair and wispy facial hair. “He was a large guy and an unkempt guy,” he said.
Holloman said the man brought on two carry on bags: a black backpack and a brown bag.
He carried the brown bag with him to the front of the plane.
After the man was subdued, passengers and flight attendants started questioning him.
When he was asked what was in the bag, Sandou said the man said, “You’ll see.”
For that, “I twisted his arms a little more tight,” said Sandou.”
Note: “AOL News’ Theresa D’Angelo contributed to this report.”
As if you have never done that?
That's where the interrogation of the Christmas Day underpants bomber should've taken place. One the plane and by the other passengers.
My last post should’ve read “On the plane...”
You know-pretty soon-some entrepeneur is going to start a certificate program for “How To Subdue The Crazy person On Your Flight”...
Or-you’re going to have to pass a mental exam and “substance abuse” testing before flying.
All planes should now be equipped with a HUGE syringe of valium ready to go...like on Star Trek-ya know?
Problem: unruly passenger
Solution: stun gun and duct tape
Here we go again.
Law enforcement?
Why no terror taskforce?
I swear, I hope I never have to fly on a plane again.
Prescription weight Ambien for all who even look like they might be a problem...Flight attendant just slips it in their in flight beverage!
What is Krav Maga....? A Martial Art?
He should NEVER be able to fly again...>NEVER!!
