When The Pilot Goes Bananas

Broadcast journalist Laurie Dhue talks with members of the media after arriving at McCarran International Airport, Tuesday in Las Vegas. Dhue was a passenger on board Jet Blue flight 191 from New York JFK when it was diverted to Amarillo, Texas after the captain stormed through the plane rambling about a bomb and threats from Iraq Tuesday until passengers on the Las Vegas-bound flight tackled him to the ground just outside the cockpit.

Question: Have you ever been on a flight in which a passenger or member of the flight crew acted up?
