UPDATE: Law enforcement sources tell us ... the unruly passenger had an anxiety attack during the flight and that's what caused the ruckus. Upon landing she was taken to a local hospital.
TMZ has learned ... JetBlue flight attendants have just subdued a passenger who went nuts on a flight from Boston to Santo Domingo.

Alcohol + lower cabin pressure + fear of flying is not a good combo..........
New FAA regulations will require all passengers to be naked and be tranquilized during the flight.

Fine with me...but DONT TAKE AWAY THE MINI VODKAS..
I was thinking booze and meds probably contributed to the freak out....

Being trapped in an overgrown cigar tube for several hours is nerve wracking..............all those germs.........ugh!..........
booze and lack of meds maybe....
I would toss in the under reported epidemic of people on serotonin reuptake inhibitor anti-anxiety type drugs. There is probably a threshold that even the drugs can’t handle, and the dam breaks so-to-speak. We never saw people freaking out on flights decades ago before these drugs were prescribed like candy, and alcohol has always flowed freely on airlines, veritable flying bars since like forever.
They should have had a pillow fight during this flight of fright.
The best thing that ever happened when my sister lived on ST. Maarten was that TNT started direct flights from Boston to St. Maarten. Never get on a plane whith a final destination of Santo Domingo or Port au Prince.
Don’t get on Jet Blue period...you either get a whacked out flight attendant or passenger...take your pick. Cattle cars attract barnyard animals. Fly Delta like me and you only get a guy who can’t even light his underwear :)
Whatever....
Don’t ever call me Shirley!
