A male flight attendant tackled the suspect

Completely unfair comment: I can't picture any male flight attendant I've ever seen subduing a bad guy. Congrats to him for breaking the stereotype.

When I flew a few weeks after 9/11, the male flight attendant stationed closest to the cockpit looked like he was "borrowed" from the Marines.

Har, har, har...very good. These days, I would have expected a female attendant to be tough enough to "subdue" the guy.

It’s a bit of misunderstanding.

The male flight attendant was standing behind the guy.

The guy dropped something and bent over to pick it up.

When the male flight attendant saw another guy bending over in front of him, the male flight attendant thought it was an invitation and simply took him up on the offer.

Funny you mention this. I was on Delta international flight and my flight attendant was 6 feet and 300 lbs of solid muscle. Couldn’t believe it. Looked like a bouncer. Called him “Tiny”. Great guy.
