On United’s domestic flight 2609 from Los Angeles to Boston on March 5, a man with a broken spoon attacked the crew and attempted to take over the plane. A prisoner filmed the bizarrely dangerous scenes that unfolded before he was overpowered:
The man would have tried to open an emergency exit about 45 minutes before landing. The crew received a warning. However, due to the high cabin pressure, the door could not be opened. Then the man began to threaten the prisoners with confused statements. He eventually attacked two crew members with a broken spoon, but was overpowered by several passengers before anyone was injured.
Possibly insane
After the plane landed safely in Boston, the man was arrested. He is now on the no-fly list at United. He also faces life in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
ABC7 reports that the man has been a patient in at least two psychiatric hospitals in the past. (lzo)
