“I’m taking over this plane!” With these words, a 33-year-old attacked a flight attendant with a broken spoon, who wanted to stab his victim three times in the neck. The American had previously tried to open the door of the machine.
On a United Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Boston, about 45 minutes before landing, the flight crew noticed that a door latch had been pushed out of its final position and an emergency slide handle had been disengaged. A message from the cockpit had previously stopped the flight crew for inspection.
Then Francisco Severo Torres from Massachusetts went crazy. He threatened the cockpit crew with a broken spoon and wanted to “take over” the machine.
The incident happened Sunday night, less than an hour before the United Airlines flight landed. Passengers were eventually able to overpower and detain Torres. He was detained by the police at the airport. According to NBC10 Boston, no one on board was seriously injured.
