Witness describes escalation of passenger's threats aboard flight to Boston

Why are you even talking? Shut up. The first five hours of the flight was uneventful, quiet, normal flight. I was on with my husband and my daughter. And about 30 minutes before we were landing, I heard a commotion. He was getting louder. I'm not supposed to go to the over speed or I'll fall on the first side. You're not gonna take much.

You're not gonna take much. You're not gonna take much. I think a couple of passengers tried to talk to him to calm him down. He was only making him more agitated. I'm waiting for them to point the gun at me so I can show everybody that I won't die when I take every bullet in that clip to wherever in my body they shoot it. And then I will kill every man on this plane. A woman tried to approach him and say that he was scaring the passengers.

It's time to take over this plane. Dude, I'm telling you right now. I'm telling you right now. He didn't care. He was getting louder. I don't care. I don't care.

Many men from the plane jumped up, followed him, tackled him to the ground and there were probably about four to six of them that sat on top of him to restrain him. The flight crew immediately had zip ties to zip ties feet in his arms. And when he saw that he kind of jumped out of his seat and got in the aisle. He didn't grab him down.
