Maybe he didn't get on well with the icing from the carrot cake or peanuts served in midflight snacktime. Maybe there was a yet another rerun of Friends and that put him over the edge...
Either way, the LAist, a fantastic blog, posted a series of twitter tweets by a fellow who was on the flight and I will now share these with you.
- Our plane is stopped on the taxiway they're asking for firefighters or police officers to come to the back of the plane
- Someone apparently "lost control" at the back of our plane. Still sitting on the taxiway
- Police escort to the gate
- "Legal authorities" boarding plane right now
- Captain is out here in the cabin on the phone. Legally cannot let anyone leave until police board
- Police on board
- 10 police officers and several suits onboard
- One man in custody
- Dragged by us in zip cuffs police have not cleared us to deplane
- Just got the go ahead to get off the plane. Now I can finally go pee! Hahahaha! :D
