PORTLAND, Ore. – Three people were removed from a United Airlines jet bound for Portland on Wednesday due to a disturbance aboard the plane, according to United Airlines officials.
Flight 251 originated in Washington, D.C. and was diverted to Chicago. It arrived in Portland about four hours late. 135 passengers were on board. No injuries were reported.
United Airlines described the situation on board as a “customer service issue” and said the passengers in question were blocking aisles and not responding to flight attendants’ requests.
Three men were reportedly involved. One man was apparently on his hands and knees in an aisle way near an emergency exit and appeared to be ill. Another passenger apparently tried to help the man, who did not speak English.
The man in the aisle reportedly would not return to his seat. Passengers said another man with him repeatedly stood up and kept asking how long until the plane arrived in Portland. Yet another man was reportedly reading a book about weapons, according to a passenger seated next to that person. All three were taken off the plane in Chicago.
All other passengers were re-screened and the flight resumed.
The identities of the men involved have not been released and it was not specified if any faced charges for their behavior on the aircraft.
On passenger who talked to KATU said he was afraid for his safety during the incident. A United Airlines spokesperson said most passengers on board were unaware of the incident, which took place in the rear of the Airbus 320 jetliner.
I wonder if he was afraid like Juan Williams would have been?
Keep Portland weird??
That’s the offical motto of Austin, TX. Keep Austin weird.
I have a very liberal little brother. He used to live in Austin. Now lives in Portland.
He’s happy there.
I was on a flight from Taipei to LAX and some drunk was trying to open the emergency exit at 30,000 ft above the Pacific. Now that's pretty scary. The little Taiwanese flight attendant asked me and a few other guys to take seats back by the drunk in case we needed to render him . . . shall we say . . to put it politely - somewhat sleepy
All six of us were over 6'0 ft and 200 lbs.
Mr. Inspectorette were contemplating a European trip this Fall, but with all the craziness going in the Middle East, I dunno. If Gaddhafi stays in power, there isn't much doubt he'll retaliate against the coalition countries, starting with us.
It wouldn't end happily for the muslims, I'm afraid. Pretty sure of that in the post 9/11 world
Muslims playing one of their dangerous games again....I would bet the house that they could all speak English. Terrorists don't behave in anything resembling normal behavior....
A passenger on his hands and knees in the aisle? That’s just Bill Maher trying to get some more frequent flyer miles.
Looking at some of the Google news articles on this, it’s really odd that most of them have no comments...
That’s what I thot — was his butt up in the air? Head pointed toward Mecca? Spoke no English? Wouldn’t get up?
Well, I think they were Muzlimz.
That's why I am so surprised that an intelligent, sober fellow like Mr. Obama telegraphed his options publicly to the dear Colonel on Monday night and by Tuesday afternoon, the "rebel" forces were being routed.
By Obama showing his hand publicly to the terrorists, he leaves the sidelines open for an end run.
One of two things is true: 1. Obama is leaving America wide open for terrorist attack - purposely, 2. Obama is the stupidest most unqualified commander of any military force in World history. __________________________
Reading a book about weapons? I would be curious as to which book he was reading. Field and Stream? Tactical nukes for Dummies?
They are constantly testing us.
One of them leads the prayer and then they all do that bowing thing. I saw it last week at a soccer practice. Three Muslims pointing their ass to California and praying.
Roger,
at least they know what to expect from Kalifornia
Normal for Portland.
