An American Airlines flight from Seattle to Dallas was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger attempted to open the plane's doors mid-flight.
A New Jersey man has been arrested for his alleged disruptive and life-threatening behaviour on an American Airlines flight. Twenty-six-year-old Eric Nicholas Gapco, travelling on flight 2101 from Seattle to Dallas on July 18, exhibited what authorities described as "unruly" behaviour.
Apart from propositioning a female crew member for sex, Gapco also attempted to open the plane's door mid-flight multiple times, forcing the emergency landing, the New York Post reported. The US Attorney's Office for the District of Utah said that Gapco removed his shirt mid-flight and began inhaling on a vape pen while cursing and hitting on a crew member, proposing to her for sex. The passenger also allegedly assaulted a flight attendant.
The Delanco man ate too many marijuana edibles before flight leading to his obnoxious behaviour on the plane.
