edjr 6,580 Posted September 13, 2006 The man had been acting strangely for about 20 minutes, then sat up, wrapped belts around his hands and threw punches into the air, Wolfenberger said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davebg 0 Posted September 13, 2006 Wolfenberger said the man was held down and punched by other passengers as he grabbed the man's leg. Air marshals then came and took custody of the man. Ummm... ...why weren't the air marshals the first ones to respond? I can picture it now. The flight attendant shouts for help, the air marshal sitting two rows away has his iPod on and so some civilian passengers jump the nutjob. Then, the air marshal sees the commotion and hops into action. :Officer Barbrady/Wiggum: OK people...move along...nothing to see here. :Officer Barbrady/Wiggum: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
