flight disturbance
this time phoenix police may have handled things differently
if you remember about a month ago one woman went crazy was arrested and later died ------------ A Southwest Airlines jet was forced to return to the gate Friday when a man attempted to kick in the door to the cockpit. The passenger apparently was suffering from flight anxiety, according to a Phoenix police spokeswoman. Flight 1028 from Phoenix to Oakland was taxiing on the runway at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport just before noon when the pilot announced they were next for takeoff. That's when the man left his seat and attempted to enter the cockpit. Chris Mainz, a Southwest Airlines spokesman, said the man returned to his seat when asked by the flight crew. Police and airport security were waiting for the passenger at the gate and escorted him off the plane. Although Phoenix police did not arrest the man, Mainz said it is an offense to interfere with flight crew instructions at any point during the flight. “He did cause a disturbance but ultimately did not hurt anyone,” Phoenix police Detective Stacie Derge said Saturday. |

I assume he was not Islamic. Then, a national emergency would have been declared. |
