Man threatens violence against fellow Alaska Airlines passengers on recent Seattle flight

A masked Alaska Airlines passenger threatened violence against everyone on a flight over the weekend, and that they should "die in the name of Jesus." Alaska Airlines flight 422 departed at 11:10 p.m. from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Saturday and was headed for Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Soon after departure, the incident occurred. "The man became extremely belligerent and physically aggressive during ascent," Alaska Airlines spokesperson Ray Lane said. "The passenger was quickly subdued by the flight crew with the assistance of two able-bodied passengers and a law enforcement officer who happened to be flying on the aircraft." A video of the incident has him saying he will kill everyone on the plane and to "die in the name of Jesus." A crew member can be heard over the loudspeaker announcing they would be landing at the nearest possible airport and that "we have everything under control." "The flight returned safely to Sea-Tac, where additional law enforcement personnel were standing by to take the passenger into custody. The flight was canceled and the remaining guests were booked on the next available flights to Chicago," Lane added. <br/>
