A passenger suffering an apparent “mental health emergency” popped an overwing emergency exit on a Southwest plane in New Orleans and jumped to the ramp Sunday evening. Airport police were called to the gate after ground personnel detained the passenger. No one was hurt but the passenger was described as being “incoherent.”
“When deputies made contact with the man, they found he was incoherent and not fully aware of his surroundings,” a news release from the police said. He was still in the hospital on Monday for evaluation. Southwest said everyone did everything right in the incident. “We commend our flight and ground crews for their swift action and apologize to our Customers for their inconvenience,” Southwest Airlines said in an email to USA TODAY. The plane was ready to push so passengers had to be put on another aircraft for their flight to Atlanta and Baltimore.

I had two hours in 2011 to sit and wait on a flight. I observed at least three women in pajamas/flip flops.
Yep, extremely uncomfortable and too many passengers that are distasteful, or out of line in one way or another.
Seems like we have a mental illness pandemic going on and zero treatment.
heres why
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie
12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
I wonder how they would fair in an evacuation, running across a field with burning jet fuel. If they are behind me, it would be less of my concern.
I did pose that scenario to a fellow passenger who took his shoes and socks off prior to takeoff. It was an IQ test and he failed miserably. My mother would be disappointed in my slovenly behavior for the rest of the flight.

When you put a lunatic in a suit, you end up with a well dressed lunatic.
A few years ago on a flight to the Bahamas, I had a bad panic attack 15 minutes into the flight. I took my sedative and my anti-anxiety med prior, but it didn’t help. My wife didn’t know what to do. I got up and went to the back of the plane where a flight attendant was sitting. She asked me to go back to my seat and when I told her what I was experiencing, she had me sit down next to her and stayed with me until the attack passed.
With my experiences having panic attacks, it could have gotten ugly, but the flight attendant was calm and collected and helped me through the attack. I sent the airlines a glowing review of the flight attendant and also let the rest of the crew know as we disembarked what a great job she did.
I saw a grown man in a flannel onesie on a flight I was on.
Very true.
A lot of wackos remained in New Orleans after Katrina.
Looked and sounded like Black Friday at Walmart.
No. You saw an immature 35 year old child flying.
Not a man wearing a onesie in the airplane.
What is with all of the crazies flying on commercial flights, these days?

What these events make clear is that an increasing percentage of the population is experiencing drug induced mental instability issues, which in turn is jeopardizing the safety of the general public.
Commercial air transport is the modern equivalent of a bus.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
And any normal person who has to ride a bus in any major city in the USA is to be pitied.
From title, I thought a passenger jumped from plane in flight.
I remember when people dressed up like going to church to fly on an airplane.
Nowadays, they don’t even dress up to go to church or fly.................
Airlines are now the ‘Greyhound Buses’ of the sky...............
I would rather see a dress code for passengers.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Absent any sort of sensible dress code I think you will soon be seeing passengers barefooted, shirtless, in thongs, wearing only their underwear, etc. demanding to board commercial aircraft.
