A JetBlue captain reportedly went berserk on a flight from JFK to Las Vegas today and was kicked out of the flight deck while the plane made an emergency landing.
JetBlue Flight 191 diverted to Amarillo, Texas after the captain was ejected from the cockpit, said a Federal Aviation Administion statement.
An Amarillo TV station quoted a passenger as saying the pilot “began running up and down the aisles screaming.”
The pilot banged on the cockpit door but was not allowed to get back in, the passenger said.
The pilot’s actions prompted a panicked flight attendant to get on the intercom and urge passengers to restrain him.
Several passengers proceeded to tackle the pilot to the floor and hold him down until the plane landed, according to the station.
The FAA statement confirmed the pilot was subdued by passengers.
JetBlue said the captain had a “medical situation” and was taken to an Amarillo hospital.
He was replaced on the flight deck by another off-duty captain who happened to be on the plane, the airline said.
The flight has 135 passengers and five crew members aboard when it departed JFK, the statement said.
