Two weeks ago, a New Jersey man caused American Airlines flight 2102 from Seattle to Dallas-Fort Worth to divert.
Shortly after takeoff, the man refused to stay seated and began shouting and screaming. He vaped and locked himself in the lavatory. He eventually came out and attempted to open the aircraft’s emergency exit doors at both the front and rear of the Airbus A321. He also propositioned a flight attendant for sex.
Crew members and passengers subdued the man and restrained him with flex cuffs. The captain diverted the plane to Salt Lake City, where he was removed by officers, shirtless at this point. As he proceeded down the aisle and off the aircraft, he sang “You say potato, I say potato.”
