Leominster Kook stabs flight attendant in the neck

[HARRYM]

Video shows tense moments after man allegedly tried to open door on flight to Boston

The suspect told officials he tried to open the door to jump out of the plane and said he knew people would die if he did, per court docs.

I wish somebody would have cold conked his azz. These days with insanity running wild, and since 9-11, anyone who starts up on a plane could be a threat to take the plane down. He tried to open the emergency exit as well. If you are on a plane you gotta nip this shat quickly for your own personal safety.

 

[paul73]

it`s a sucky job to be a flight attendant.
and as air marshals allowed the stabbing - shame on them.

 

[nitsy33]

They let it escalate, I agreee shoulda stopped it asap

 

[glockstar]

Sounds like a well rounded fella. Dad called him Dracula, totally normal, certainly not a mental case or anything like that.

 

[namedpipes]

The guy was creative enough to fashion a weapon from available materials. He's going far! If more people were self sufficient enough to fend for themselves like this, we'd all be in a better place.

Olsen said male passengers took turns keeping Torres under control, swapping out as people tired, according to the Globe.

I am offended. They should have gave females equal time holding him down.

 

[Romokid]

Do we even know if there were air marshalls on the flight? I didn't think all flights had air marshalls anymore.

so they mean LA to boston flight had no marshals on it? sweet.

Were any actually on the flight? Probably not.

Look how sexist the globe is!

i would assume a flying bomb like that was _supposed_ to have them, but, presumably, you all may be right - if it is no longer a priority.

I think you'd be surprised how few flights have air marshals on them.

 

[Romokid]

I just googled it and it they (google) states that between 1% and 5% (I found 2 stats) of all flights have air marshalls now as it is not cost prohibited as it costs roughly $3,300 per flight for an air marshall.

Air marshals play an important role in protecting passengers from the risk of terrorist activity, aircraft piracy and other crimes. So you might think that there would be an air marshal on every…

Why didn't they put him in a choke hold and knock him out?

 

[paul73]

I think you'd be surprised how few flights have air marshals on them.

then it is a wonder he did not actually opened a door there and killed the whole flight.
aggressive psychos can be very strong and difficult to subdue, if it was just passengers trying to deal with him. what a mess...

Seriously, and usually when you hit someone enough times they'll stop being a dick.

Was there on on the plane? Like 1% of flights have one in board.

He was shouting I am Balbazar. Balbazar is my god.

Balbazar is a Pokémon.

This is Balbazar

WTF??? We need more information lol.

 

[paul73]

Balbazar is my god.

Balbazar is a Pokémon.

the whole pokemon universe thing suddenly gained a lot of credibility, it seems.

You can’t open a door inflight. The pressure differential prevents it.

wanna argue but can`t - as i never tried it, nor saw one to try doing it.

but who knows, may be there is still a hope for pokemons to show the way.

still.
still.

a healthy sceptic in me inquires - if it is indeed not doable, why are they so paranoid about preventing folks to try to do it?

What can an air marshal do that a bunch of grown men willing to step up like on Flight 93 can't? It's not like you can whip out your pistol and bam bam some 9 mil lung busters mid flight, miss, blow out a window and depressurize the entire cabin.

The doors are locked from the cockpit. But even if they weren’t locked, you aren’t going to open them mid flight. The aircraft cabin is pressurized to a significantly higher pressure than outside air at altitude — otherwise passengers and crew would all pass out from lack of oxygen. Because of that pressure differential, the door is pushed by air pressure hard against the doorframe.

According to Smith, this works out, at typical cruising altitude, at about eight pounds of pressure pushing against every square inch of interior fuselage – eleven hundred pounds against each square foot of door. It doesn’t matter how strong the passenger who wants out happens to be – they aren’t opening that door.

Physics explains why you can never open a plane door mid-flight

A British Airways passenger caused chaos after trying to open the aircraft door during a flight, but air pressure and clever design makes it impossible

it is air marshal job to get infected with whatever pokemons were in that kook`s blood. it is probably contagious. i bet it is.
and i bet it bites and scratches. plus shiv. brr. timber me shivers.

Not if they're mentally ill and violent.

Yup.

Out of all of the things he ranted about, I found this the most offensive:

“….I take every bullet in that clip”

 

[rep308]

I use to fly a lot and one time a fat middle age balding guy wearing a Wal-Mart blazer was allowed to board early, I was seated next to him, he had an isle seat. He kept tugging on his blazer and while getting back from the rest room he leaned over and exposed (to me) a holster with some sort of semi pistol. I just dummied up, and on the way out I handed him a note.

Call Central Casting, how about a guy dressed like a normal traveler boarding along with the normal people
