A man attempted to storm the cockpit of a JetBlue flight on Wednesday evening and then proceeded to kick and choke members of the flight crew, according to an FBI affidavit.
With a little more than an hour left in the flight from Boston to San Juan, Puerto Rico, the man attempted to make a phone call and "became angry about the call's unsuccess," a flight attendant told the FBI. Thirty minutes later he allegedly rushed toward the cockpit, shouting in Spanish and Arabic to be shot....

I thought cockpits were all locked down so no crazies could get in?

Cheer up folks, it’s going to be much worse with the current invasion of 200,000 illegals storming our southern border EVERY MONTH. The 20 year old “11 million” will need to be revised upward 2 million every years from now on until Congress decides enough is enough.
Ted Cruz and Jim Jordan should ask Nancy and Schmucky how many millions of illegals are enough. How about a few BILLION?

Using the NON-WORD “unsuccess” earns the death penalty for EVERYONE that used, wrote AND printed it. That caught my eye, too. But they were quoting the flight attendant, so...

A great shame that his wish was not granted as soon as the plane landed safely

In the incident, first reported by The Daily Beast, the unruly passenger grabbed the flight attendant by their collar and tie with one hand, and placed his other hand on the overhead compartment in an attempt to gain leverage before kicking the flight attendant in the chest, according to the affidavit.Not sure what's going on with FR on this thread. Everyone seems to be cracking jokes. There's nothing remotely amusing about this attack. Are you all just not bothering to read the article before you comment?

...he was still holding the JetBlue flight attendant by their tie The article is poorly written as expected from ABC, but notice that the careful use of the woke pronoun so we cannot tell which sex the steward(ess) is.

“BEAT“
Yeah, employing the verb “beat” would’ve reduced the sexual overtones in the initial comment. But I got a chuckle over coffee... thanks!

A couple of strange points here:
1. No passengers were involved in subduing this guy? If I was on this flight, I would have assisted the flight crew.
2. It says that the flight crew eventually opened the door to the cockpit. Oh hell no, keep that door locked and get that bird in the ground. That is your job.

I haven’t flown in forever......until recently.....
....and it was Jet Blue which I think is a more popular of the smaller airlines.
I took it because it had a direct flight to my destination.
And it was a really good flight.
I can’t imagine being on a flight like the one mentioned.
Horrible
Also.....the airlines carrying the illegals......Delta?....United?.....
Imagine the diseases and level of unwashed .......how do they clean and sanitize their planes?
