Horizon Air plane diverted to PDX after person in cockpit tries to shut down engines
OregonLive ^ | 10/23/2023 | Associated Press

A person riding in the extra seat in the cockpit of a Horizon Air passenger jet tried to shut down the engines in midflight and had to be subdued by the two pilots.

The San Francisco-bound flight on Sunday diverted to Portland, where it was met by law enforcement officers. . . . .

“We’ve got the guy that tried to shut the engines down out of the cockpit. And he — doesn’t sound like he’s causing any issue in the back right now, and I think he’s subdued,” one of the pilots said on audio captured by LiveATC.com. “Other than that, we want law enforcement as soon as we get on the ground and parked.”

They pulled him out.
Then....

Dr.Rumack : The life of everyone on board depends upon just one thing: finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane, but who didn’t have fish for dinner.

Whoever Joseph David Emerson is (age 44), he got ‘subdued’ by the crew. I’m guessing one of the pilots told him to ‘Cut the Crazy!’ and gave him a right hook to the mouth, followed by the All Purpose Zip-Tie-as-Strait-Jacket treatment.
No videos of the take down, unfortunately.
Joseph can forget about ever being invited back to sit in the coveted third cockpit seat.

Since he's not Mo-HAM-med, I wonder if he's an enviro-whacko, since they've recently decreed that aircraft engines are poisoning the stratosphere.

You are the FIFTH person (at least) to post a story on this incident.

Yet the search function is still fully operational.

Northwest Airlines union head plows “Kerry” into his farm field
Mercury News ^ | 10-15-04 | AP

Union support for John Kerry is no surprise, but it’s not usually visible from 20,000 feet in the air.

Mark McClain, who leads the Northwest Airlines pilot group at the Air Line Pilots Association, has plowed the word “Kerry” into his soybean field near the airport in Des Moines, Iowa.

Of course this recent incident may be depression from being a resident of crazy California...young family, probably taxed beyond belief, high housing costs, debt, depression, etc.
