Delta has had its share of in-flight spats recently. First there was the ticked-off passenger who slugged a flight attendant, costing her two teeth. Then there was some knucklehead who wanted into the cockpit, possibly because he thought they had better coffee.
And now this guy, an off-duty flight attendant named Stephon Jamar Duncan, age 34. We don't know what mental or emotional trauma he was suffering, but “He had been acting really weird,” said one passenger. "He was wearing a helmet. He basically walked up and down the row opening up every overhead bin.”
Then Duncan went up to the intercom and made an announcement: Passengers were to go back to their seats and prepare to put on their oxygen masks.
Then he tried to open the airplane door. At that point the on-duty flight attendants realized that if they wanted to go all the way to Atlanta, they were going to have to get physical.
There was another announcement: All "strong males" were wanted to handle "a problem passenger." Several volunteers answered.
The plane landed in Oklahoma City, where authorities got Duncan off the plane by zip tying his wrists and ankle and carrying him foot first to the exit.
