A Japanese plane headed from Tokyo to Texas had to make an emergency landing after a passenger tried to open one of its doors during the flight.
All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight 114 was diverted to Seattle hours after taking off on Saturday “due to an unruly passenger”, the airline said.
Port of Seattle police told media they had been notified of a man who “attempted to open exit doors during the flight”.
The man, who was not identified, was “having a medical crisis” and had to be restrained by other passengers and flight crew, police said.
Because none of the flight crew or the company wants a lawsuit if they can avoid it. Land asap and give the guy over to authorities
They do restrain disruptive passengers in those situations, very often by duct taping them to their seats. The risk of a lawsuit from the psycho is less than the risk of a lawsuit from every other passenger in the cabin when they refuse to restrain the nut job.
