A group of passengers on board an American Airlines flight restrained and tied up a passenger with duct tape after he allegedly tried to open an aircraft door mid-flight.
The flight attendant told authorities the passenger’s voice got louder and he became more agitated.
“The only thing you could think about was, 'I’ve gotta stop this guy,'” McCright, who was sitting in the front row of the flight, told NBC News.
I need to get off the plane.”Another flight attendant told authorities the passenger told her he wanted to get off the flight because he was the “captain.” This flight attendant tried to deescalate the man, but he did not listen and kept insisting he was getting off the flight.
And yeah after processing and the situation was done, yeah I’m very thankful to be here,” Boris told NBC’s Jesse Kirsch.
