Flight From LAX Diverted After Flight Crew, Passengers Take Down Loon Allegedly Attempting To Break Into Cockpit

2021-06-06

[MSN] The Federal Bureau of Investigation Friday was investigating after a man reportedly attempted to break into the cockpit on a flight from Los Angeles International Airport.

According to authorities, Delta Flight 386 was on its way to Nashville. Video from the flight shows flight attendants and passengers wrestling with the man, tackling him and restraining him.

Once the man was restrained and the flight crew was able to get the rest of the passengers seated, the pilots made an emergency landing in Albuquerque where the passenger was taken into custody. The FBI

...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
Albuquerque said in a tweet that there was no threat to the public.

One passenger said it seemed like the man was either panicking and in the midst of a mental health crisis or was possibly on drugs.

Another passenger, Jessica Robertson, chief content officer for TOGETHXR, took to social media to share her experience. She called the situation "terrifying," but said flight attendant Christopher Williams "acted quickly," to get the situation under control.

"He kept banging on the flight door," the flight attendant who subdued the man said in the video posted to social media. "That’s a no-no. The second he banged on the door, it was a wrap."

Delta released a statement about the incident that said, in part:

"Thanks to the crew and passengers of Delta Flight 386, LAX to Nashville (BNA), who assisted in detaining an unruly passenger as the flight diverted to Albuquerque (ABQ). The aircraft landed without incident and the passenger was removed by law enforcement."

The FBI was said to be investigating the incident. The remainder of the passengers were expected to make it to Nashville about five hours late, Delta said.

The Federal Aviation Administration said it has seen a disturbing increase in passengers disrupting flights this year, including a woman who punched a flight attendant on a Southwest flight in May.

The FAA is now prosecuting passengers for misconduct that interferes with the safety of crew members.

LACKING, BUT A UPDATE
I have been all over the WEB and some Dark Gray places. The only addition data so far for DELTA 386 as of 17:12 EST was needle found in a haystack out of Brazil. It reported Delta 386 was a Boeing 737-900ER Tail # N830DN.

Used that to look at flight history
Note: this site can be used to track flights also.

Which shows the same plane was not used to continue the flight to Nashville.

Prying minds want to know.
But I guess the fix is in and Social Media needs time to wipe/clean his past, political activities, party, donations or rewrite it a little maybe.

Who knows???
But the DOJ/FAA/FBI/??? are being more tight-lipped
than usual.

#5 Witness says a large guy, ~ 6'-4" with dark hair and a lot of body hair.

A yeti on the passenger list?

#4 /\ You really must ask yourself, if not a white supremacist, is it actually newsworthy ?

#3 If it was an actual "white supremacist," they'd have had a TV crew waiting when they took him off the plane. His face would have been on the evening national news for sure.

Curiously I noted the omission of the idiots name that was arrested.

Was it a give-away type name, Or not?
Looks like I have little digging to do this AM.
