A man attempted to storm the cockpit of a JetBlue flight and then proceeded to kick and choke members of the flight crew, according to an FBI affidavit.
As he was allegedly attacking the crew, he shouted again for the pilot to shoot him.
"While he was yelling, he was still holding the JetBlue flight attendant by their tie," the affidavit said."This resulted in the tie tightening and ultimately prevented the JetBlue flight attendant from breathing."A JetBlue plane prepares to take off from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport on July 16, 2020, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Eventually six or seven crew members were able to gain control of the man using flex cuffs. However, the man broke out of the first pair of flex cuffs and the crew needed to use four seat-belt extenders, a new pair of flex cuffs and a uniform neck tie to restrain him to a seat. The plane landed safely in San Juan where the man was taken into custody. He now faces felony charges of interfering with a flight crew.
