Dulles- A United Airlines flight made
a U-turn in the sky after a passenger
ran toward the cockpit screaming
"jihad, jihad," according to a
government official with direct
knowledge of the incident.
There is nothing, so far, in the
man's background to suggest he
has a connection to terrorists, the
government source said. His mental
state at the time is unknown, and
no weapons were found after he
was subdued.
Still, his words are alarming, coming
at a time when the United States
and its allies have been targeted by
Islamist extremist groups like ISIS,
and with memories of the
September 11, 2001, hijackings of
four U.S. commercial airliners still
etched in many Americans' minds.
The incident started shortly after
United Flight 1074 took off around
10:15 p.m. Monday from Dulles
International Airport in suburban
Washington. The Boeing 737 jet
was supposed to take its 33
passengers and six crew members
to Denver, but was turned back
because the unnamed passenger
"failed to comply with crew
instructions," United Airlines
spokesman Luke Punzenberger
said.
The pilots told air traffic controllers
that after the passenger began
acting violently, other passengers
subdued him, according to
LiveATC.net, which provides audio of
air traffic control transmissions.
"He ran forward towards the
cockpit, and he is being restrained
by passengers," one of the pilots
said. "The cockpit is secure, and we
would just like to return to the
airport and have the authorities
meet him."
A cell phone video shows the man,
bruised on his face, held down by
other passengers. At one point, he
pleads, "Please stop, please stop,
they said call it off." At another, the
man seems to cry as he says, "I'm so
sorry."
"Don't move," one passenger says,
apparently trying to calm the man.
"You're OK. We're going to get you
off this plane, buddy."
The plane landed back at Dulles
around 10:40 p.m., said Kimberly
Gibbs, a spokeswoman for the
Metropolitan Washington Airports
Authority, which runs the northern
Virginia airport.
Airport police took the unruly
passenger off the plane, and airport
firefighter-EMTs transported him to
a nearby hospital, according to
Gibbs.
As of late Tuesday morning, the
passenger had not been arrested or
charged with a crime, the airports
authority spokeswoman added.
By then, the other passengers --
none of whom was injured -- had
been rebooked on new Denver-
bound flights. Some opted to take
the first flight to Colorado on
Tuesday, while others chose to leave
later, according to Punzenberger,
the United spokesman.
