Further proof that American citizens will never again hesitate to subdue any threat on an airplane. Kudos to every passenger that assisted the flight crew.

I don't understand how someone can be that screwed up and yet still function well enough to get a ticket, get to the airport, board the plane, etc. Are they delusional the whole time? Paranoid? Do they go crazy when they drink? Are they claustrophobic and just lose it? Are they suicidal and think they can take everyone else with them? A lone pathetic wannabe terrorist? I mean...at the point where someone is this nuts and acts out in this way you would think their family or someone would have stepped in already and gotten them some help.

facepalm for the people with luggage on an emergency situation.

[Breunna]

It kills me that people will jeopardize other people’s lives by going to get their luggage during an evacuation.

[Gabster]

After 9/11, I'm not taking no chances. I'm tackling for sure.

[Karina_Engr]

It’s a rough couple of days in aviation. Great job to the people for doing the things that kept everyone alive.

[meggun]

My only prayer is to never encounter such people in my life. Scary to live in this timeline... i just want to live in the mountains or secluded island. Peace and quiet. Be safe out there everyone.

[CreoleLadyBug]

He’s facing life in prison under federal law.

[keenie]

The idiot who took their luggage in an evacuation should be fined.

[hakuuna_matata]

Let me just say one thing - crazy sick people are among us and we have to stay vigilant. Stay safe out there everyone

[briabree]

SHOW HIS DAMN FACE! WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING

[gaelicd]

The discharge of smoke into the cabin was so traumatic the lady going through the exit door had time to collect her baggage. Then causing a delay getting out the emergency exit. Sle sound be jailed and no different than any Karen on any flight.

[cleosmom]

There needs to be higher punishment for these people interfering with flights. It should be clear if you argue with the flight crew you are going to prison period! Sit down and enjoy or endure your flight but don't misbehave.

[puremind]

Life sentence with No parole.
He said he wants to kill everyone 😢
Thank you to 6 passengers who sat on him 🙏

[richardwilson]

Please never that guy take a commercial flight ever again…… and also I am almost certain that his physiatrist will have changed his meds recently…… they need to have their license reviewed

[jacquelinegarvin]

These men are real Heroes thank you for your love and your kindness.

[flyby]

Those luggage that these passengers take with them during an emergency can not only slow down evacuation but also it can damage the slide rendering it useless for many others. It can cause more injuries or worse. Unbelievable.

[damirkolar]

Flight attendants should carry tranquilizer guns. This is nuts, man.

[danwilson]

I’ll never understand the selfishness of people who put the lives of others at real risk during an emergency evacuation by not leaving their carry on luggage and all the replaceable crap it contains behind.

[Mel-gpqk]

I hope that maniac will never be able to travel on a flight again.
