Man attempts to open plane door mid-flight
The Local (DE) ^ | 12-7-15

"A passenger got up and tried to do something at the door, but was stopped by crew members and other passengers," said airline spokesman Andreas Bartels.

"The passenger was then restrained for the remainder of the flight in his seat and handed over to the authorities in Belgrade," he said.

"It was a normal door, which of course cannot be opened in-flight... it was not the cockpit door," he said. "The safety of the flight was not jeopardised and the flight landed safely in Belgrade".

Bartels declined to provide information on the identity of the passenger or his nationality, or what he said during the incident.

Serbian state-run television reported that police had arrested a Jordanian man after he tried to forced his way into the cockpit of the Lufthansa flight.

The man had suddenly got up during the flight, banged on the cockpit door and demanded to be allowed to enter, threatening to open one of the plane's doors while it was flying over Austria, Serbia's RTS television reported.

While this one guy was busy with Sharia Theater on the door, I’d be scanning the rest of the cabin to see who was lighting the fuse on his shoes, etc.

Must have been an ‘in-flight’ radicalization. No nation would let a radicalized mulsim on a flight.

Opening an airborne, pressurized door... Obviously, Islam and liberalism are diseases that eat brain cells. That is the only explanation for some people’s stupidity.

The locked cockpit door policies have really disrupted terrorist options for causing mayhem.

The “other passengers” were members of a Serbian handball team. The subduing must have been “interesting”

I doubt he ever got to physics in school. In fact, I doubt he ever got to school, period.

Part of his name will contain the word “mohammed” or its derivative.

Planes need to have a special room to place these freaks in and have an exit door they can use without disrupting the flight.
