Flight diverted after passenger freaks out


This guy went into a total tail spin.

Here’s the startling video showing a male passenger flipping out on his family during a JetBlue flight from JFK to Las Vegas on Saturday morning.

In the video, obtained by ABC-News, the man can be seen bolting out of his window seat while shouting angrily at the two women to his left.

“Dad! Dad! Stop!” one of the women shouts back, as the second lady puts her hand on the raging man’s arm.

“He didn’t speak any English, so we didn’t know what he was talking about,” one male passenger told ABC News.

The man climbs into the aisle, still screaming, and even appears to try to take a swing at one of the flight attendants who rushes over to try to subdue him.

The attendants finally manage to secure his hands behind his back with plastic ties and lead him to the back of the plane.

The flight was diverted to Detroit by order of the captain and “in an abundance of caution due to an unruly customer,” JetBlue explained in a statement.

The plane landed at 8:30 a.m. — 90 minutes into the cross-country flight — and was met by local authorities, JetBlue said.

The man was removed, and the plane continued on to Las Vegas after two hours on the ground.
