Passengers in "Barfight" to Save Plane
One passenger described it as like a barfight as passengers and three Secret Service agents restrained a passenger trying to crash a United Airlines flight traveling from Chicago to Sacramento.
The plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Denver after a passenger attempted to bring the plane down by opening one of the plane's doors. The passenger, identified as Jose Manuel Pelayo-Ortega, was restrained before he could open the door.
According to the L.A. Times article, it sounds like the subject was held from behind in a rear naked choke and taken to the ground, saving the flight.
This incident serves as a dramatic reminder about how you might be forced to subdue a crazed passenger to save yourself. (Ironically, the three Secret Service agents were simply traveling on the flight between assignments). Check out our earlier article on how to save yourself on airline flight when someone tries to crash the plane.
