Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says he was briefed on the flight diversion due to the "Level 4 disruption on board."
An American Airlines flight bound overnight to Washington, D.C., was diverted Wednesday afternoon after a passenger tried to breach the cockpit.
The flight departed from Jacksonville, Florida, and was forced to land at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport, in North Carolina.
American Eagle flight 3444 was diverted "due to a security concern involving an unruly customer," the airline told CBS News later Wednesday.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tweeted Wednesday night that he had been briefed on the flight diversion due to a "Level 4 disruption on board."
A Level 4 disruption is an "attempted or actual breach of the flight deck," according to Federal Aviation Administration documents reviewed by the news outlet.
Local law enforcement removed the passenger at about 3:40 p.m., and the FBI agents from the ageny's Charlotte field office also responded to the incident. The flight was resumed after a security sweep.
The FAA said it was also investigating the incident, CBS also reports.
And the left will report that it must have been a white supremacist wearing a maga hat in 3.....2.....
Hmmm...wonder if it was one of ours or one of theirs. If the media does not elaborate on that eventually or post a pic of the perp, you’ll know it wasn’t one of those dastardly white domestic terrorists
Thought the cockpit was the bathroom....maybe?
Interrupted his breast feeding and everything. Must be serious.
Passengers allowing anyone to attack the cockpit deserve to go down. Get off your butts and defend your lives, morons. Trip the SOB and have three passengers sit on him until landing. If he suffocates, too DBad.
I don’t like to brag, but I’ve breached a few cockpits in my day, if you know what I mean.
In today’s age I first wonder if this was not a staged event to changes the news cycle. Ohio is causing Butthead a lot of pain.
WTF is Alfred E. Neumann going to do about it.
Go suck on his pacifier and cry on his husband’s shoulder?
I read that, and then I looked around the country today and think "fat chance that's happening". Honestly, this would be the perfect time for a hijacking attempt. Completely passive citizens three years and running.
The perp could have been drunk or stoned out of their minds.
No need to see terrorists under every bed.
THIS.
It’s like when a Dem gets in trouble...they don’t designate the party. Hopefully someone on the pane will tell the story.
My guess is that she wanted to throw a chimp fit at the captain because she didn’t get the bag of peanuts she wanted.
“Staged events” are the new Chem-trails.
It looks like it was a woman....will have to wait for someone to be brave enough to say she was.........
Later reports are that a short, drunken, brunette, female first-class passenger lost it after the stewardess refused to give her any more alcohol. She was restrained by crew and passengers until the cops came and got her.

I agree but alcohol or drugs don’t need to be involved with many “humans” that are being intentionally bred in North America in recent years.
LOL That's a keeper.
DWF = drunken white female
