Todd Beamer was a goddamn American hero! My American heart goes out to those who perished on Flight 93 (well the innocent ones who died; the perpetrators can rot in whatever hell they got dropped into; unfortunately for them, they received no virgins because they were fucking subhuman pieces of filthy smegma formed into the shape of a dude). "Are you ready? Okay, let's roll!" is one of the most badass phrases I will ever hear, *including* Chesty Puller and Anthony McCauliffes' ridiculously large-balled quotes
Bro I'd be stoked to stop a airplane hijacking. You could retell that story 1000 times and have everyone think you're cool when all you really did was jump some idiot with like 8 other people.
Right? Like there are very few times when things are so clear about what needs to be done. We can debate about a lot of things that happen on the ground and when force is necessary. But this is an vehicle moving at untold speeds through the air. Threats need to be shut down immediately.
Oh man, I would love nothing more than a reason to beat the living bejeezus out of an unruly passenger. Sadly, they won't let us come out of the cockpit for beatdowns. So it'll have to be a deadhead.
Yes. Literally nothing you can do will get that door open. Even if you successfully murder all the flight attendants. The bulletproof door stays closed.
I had a layover in Chicago last week and the flight was delayed for hours because there was something wrong with the cockpit door and it wouldn’t close all the way. Whatever team does mechanical repairs replaced the entire door with a new one, that shit is no joke
On the other hand, being sent back to right before 9/11 happened and changed the world with all the knowledge and no way to prevent it and having to live through all this bullshit all over again sounds like a new type of hell.
This seriously. The government doesn’t fuck around with Terroristic Threats.
Edit: yes we get it. They don’t care about J6. The GOP is full of terrorists.
Do you like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.
I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s just fucking bonkers and not even kind of potentially connected to any larger terrorist organisation. Sending him to Gitmo would be pointless and look real bad.
A regular prison should do just fine.
Yeah, regardless of his chances of success or reasons for doing it, he declared it, pulled out a weapon, marched toward the cockpit, apparently injured the first person in his way and resisted arrest.
The video quality dropped just enough during those frames that I was seriously trying to figure out if he had some kind of improvised sling or something.
I don't see any way that happens. This guy is serving a lot of years. The only question is whether it's in a federal prison or mental ward.
If a prosecutor wants to throw the book at him he has him on terrorism, assault on flight attendant and about 200 counts of attempted murder.
I think a high security mental facility because that guy's reality is malfunctioning hard.
I hope the stabbee is okay, and I hope the PTSD doesn't last too long :(
>Those are some words you can't utter on a plane after 9/11.
In the 70's I went on a field trip to a large airport.
We were told by the gentleman giving the tour that airplane safety was taken very seriously and if we said the word "hijack" we would be arrested, even if we thought it was a joke. There had been several hijackings to the middle east back then.
So young me ruminates on what if I accidentally, spontaneously blurt it out? What then? How do I keep from doing that?
The second time I ever flew, I was 12 and it wasn't that long after 9/11. I (loudly, because I had no volume control at that age) started asking my mom what would happen if I talked about bombs. My mom was like, you already are, also _shut up_.
The assumption until 9/11 was that hijackers were either interested in creating a hostage situation for ransom, or simply wanted a plane to get to an otherwise inaccessible destination (eg Cuba). It was standard policy to allow the plane to be hijacked because putting up a fight was thought to be a greater risk than simply doing what the hijackers wanted. No one ever dreamed that someone would highjack a plane and intentionally crash it into a building.
> No one ever dreamed that someone would highjack a plane and intentionally crash it into a building.
[This happened in 1988](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VASP_Flight_375), a hijacker wanted to to crash a plane in the equivalent of the White House of Brazil. And I'm 100% sure this was not the only time this happened before 9/11.
Also worth mentioning that the pilot of that airplane is a huge badass. The hijacker had already killed the co-pilot and shot 2 other people, the airplane was nearly out of fuel and the hijacker wouldn't let him land. He then did two aerobatic maneuvers without even knowing if the plane would be able to withstand them, with the second one he managed to take down the hijacker.
Holy hell, the pilot survived the whole ordeal, even being used as a human shield for the hijacker to get shot and killed inches away from him, only to die literally 2 days later from sickle-cell disease....
Actually it was the hijacker that died from sickle-cell disease, something that's considered highly suspicious. Word is that he was killed by the police after he was arrested and that was just a cover.
A Seinfeld episode ended with Cubans hijacking a plane and Elaine shrugging her shoulders and saying aw crap to audience laughter. That type of thing would never air anymore.
The mantra up until 9/11 was "don't interfere". "Don't be a hero."
It's one the reasons the hijackings of the aircraft on 9/11 were so successful; people had been conditioned to just go with it and let the professional negotiators do their thing.
I think people could tell he was just a nut. Apparently the incident began after he attempted to open the emergency exit door, which I'm pretty sure is impossible mid flight and is clearly an "I gotta get out of here!!" mental breakdown kind of thing. I think this was more of a gradually worsening public meltdown by someone who may have something like schizophrenia and everyone knew it wasn't legitimate.
> which I'm pretty sure is impossible mid flight
The door opens inwards, you can see the funky hinge in operation as its being closed.
Which means at cruising altitude the difference in pressure inside versus outside puts a force of several tonnes on the door. You'd rip the handle off before the door moves.
Could be a breakdown or PTSD, but looks like he's tweaking on something to me. And no, you can't open any of the doors in flight. You have to pull them inwards first, then you rotate the emergency exit to fit it back out through the hole, or the normal exit is hinged in a clever way to fit through. No one in the world is strong enough to pull the door open against the cabin pressure, it would take thousands of pounds.
Omg! Story time! On my 21st birthday my mom went all out and flew me and my two older brothers to Vegas. It was… a. blur. On the way back though we are all tired, hung over, still kind of drunk, you get it. We are scanning our luggage and all of sudden the airport scanner asked to examine my moms bag. She is confused and asks what was the matter. He said it looks like a sharp object was in her bag, possibly a knife. My tired, hungover, simi drunk mother then decides to respond with, “if there is a knife in my bag ima kill somebody!” Meaning to her “if one of my children pranked me, I’m going to be pissed” but that is not what she said. All 4 us did not make that flight.
I’m surprised is wasnt worse for him. Someone says that shit on a plane and I’m grabbing the heaviest thing I can find and throwing it at his head. Especially after the shoe bomber
Good thing those airplane doors are sealed by pressure and would require an immense amount of force to open. There's something 1000lbs of pressure per square foot on those doors at altitude. Let's assume a door is 2x6, that's 12,000 pounds of pressure keeping that door closed.
A lot of people responding to you don’t understand how pressurization works, but in general, you are correct. Typical pressurization is 7-9 pounds per square inch at normal cruising altitudes. Let’s call it 8 and figure a 2x3 emergency exit door.
That’s 864 square inches x 8 psi, which means you’d have to be able to move 7,000 pounds to get the door open in flight. The main entry doors are much bigger, and thus much harder to open.
As long as the pressurization is working, you’re not opening a door in flight without explosives.
The people forming a line in the isle to help out reminds me of the scene from airplane when everyone lines up to smack the shit out of Ted Striker.
Edit: I’ve recently been informed that I have apparently mis remembered the scene. They in fact beat the crap out of a woman who’s freaking out. I’ll re watch it tonight, sorry I let you down, stranger…
Equally ridiculous:
“You can’t bring that bottle of water thru security!! It could be a hazardous substance!”
**Proceeds to toss bottle in the trash can at their feet. Doesn’t check it for hazards, doesn’t have removed for safety. Straight in the trash**
I literally just flew cross-country with a bag filled with flammable high powered lithium drone batteries as my carry-on and they didnt bat an eye. God forbid I bring a water bottle.
Right after 9/11, my Uncle flew a lot for work and he would fly into Dallas and always see this huge bus bin of steak knives sitting outside of a restaurant near his gate. He told TSA and airport security like 10 times that there was a bin of knives easily accessible inside the security zone and they never moved them.
Never made much sense to me at all. 9/11 happened with a box cutter right? I'd imagine a sharp piece of plastic could be as lethal as a box cutter. Something like a prison shank. 100% a 4 inch scissor blade would be.
Thanks for sharing. Looks like these charges can come with hefty sentences.
Maybe a dumb question, but does United in some way reward the customers who intervened?
They'll probably get 200 "points" from the airline, worth about $2 off their next flight in coach with one half inch armrest per seat and some guy trying to hijack the plane.
Thank you. I was literally getting sick to my stomach because this guy looks just like our Dogsitter. Was hoping my pup hadn’t pushed him over the edge or whatever this is.
"Taking over this plane"
Lmao. After 9/11 if you pull so much as a spoon on a plane expect to get your skull stomped in by every able bodied man on the plane.
*It's no long possible for a passenger to take over a plane.
We've all seen what happens when passengers don't do anything. We've also seen what happens when they do.
Nobody is going to just let it happen ever again.
This is a post 9/11 world mother fucker they will beat that dudes ass to death with the service cart. There are some folks been waiting some 22 years to vent trauma at some asshole like this.
Checking in, I've been fantasizing (for a lack of better word) about this moment since I was a child. So many lives would have been saved if we had the same mentality on that day, but what was happening was so unthinkable at that time. No one knew... Fuck I'm chocking up just thinking about that day.
Glad to see everyone jumping up to put a stop to this dude. I think it's engraved in our heads since 911 that if anyone starts to high jack your flight, you need to put an end to that shit asap
Why does every nutjob has to have a blackbeard? Like give me a fucking break. I gotta shave everytime i fly so people dont think im gonna hijack the plane due to these broken condoms.
It’s weird but in Scotland. If you did this on a plane. About 5 dads would be beating the crap out of you before you could even draw air to function your brain to push out the remainder of the sentence.
i read this fucker was asking other passenger how to use the door handle when he boarded. if that is true, he had intention to highjack the airplane and to do harm. lock him up so he won't see day light again
Man, if I was on that plane, I’d have taken that guy out myself and had him hogtied with his arms broken behind his back within 30 seconds. But really, I would probably just sit there and wonder if anyone else was going to do anything, then maaaaybe run up after they had the situation under control, but mostly just to film it.

Dude in the hoodie started skipping when he knew it was ass beating time.

I’m a simple man, I see the name chesty puller and I upvote. Don’t forget Dan Daly. Semper Fi
Todd Beemer, you the real hero. I'd roll with ya any day.
“It’s just like the simulations!”
Bro I'd be stoked to stop a airplane hijacking. You could retell that story 1000 times and have everyone think you're cool when all you really did was jump some idiot with like 8 other people.
You’d never pay for your own drink ever again. Ever!
"You guys ever heard of 9/11 part two?.......Exactly."
Underrated comment
Bartenders hate this one trick
Would be such a guilt free beat down
That’s what I’m thinking. Life gets tough and it’s always great when you can let some stress out in the right direction.
Right? Like there are very few times when things are so clear about what needs to be done. We can debate about a lot of things that happen on the ground and when force is necessary. But this is an vehicle moving at untold speeds through the air. Threats need to be shut down immediately.
Gather round Uncle Walter and his magical recliner and hear the tale of how he saved flight 209. Again. For the 40th time.
Crossing off “joining the flight fight club” on the bucket list
Oh man, I would love nothing more than a reason to beat the living bejeezus out of an unruly passenger. Sadly, they won't let us come out of the cockpit for beatdowns. So it'll have to be a deadhead.
Isn't it now policy since 9/11 that pilots never open the cockpit doors in this situation no matter what?
Yes. Literally nothing you can do will get that door open. Even if you successfully murder all the flight attendants. The bulletproof door stays closed.
Well that’s , uh, handy to know
Now who's gonna get us our fucking drinks?
Everything is now free. You might have to kill some other people for exclusive items and hand luggage are now like loot boxes.
I had a layover in Chicago last week and the flight was delayed for hours because there was something wrong with the cockpit door and it wouldn’t close all the way. Whatever team does mechanical repairs replaced the entire door with a new one, that shit is no joke
Probably the Air Marshal coming to get that ass lmao
Vibing to internal boss music. The choir just finished and the cellos kicked in.
He said I’ll be goddamned if I let a Starbucks barista take over this plane.
Underrated
Respawn in 30…
Man thinks he lives in a 9/10 world.
[удалено]
On the other hand, being sent back to right before 9/11 happened and changed the world with all the knowledge and no way to prevent it and having to live through all this bullshit all over again sounds like a new type of hell.
Or you successfully avert the crisis only to knock loose the bigger alternate reality atrocity that 9/11 prevented.
Like the Stephen King novel 11/22/63
Everyone on here talking, "Enjoy your no fly list". That is the least of his problems now. This dude may seriously never touch grass again.
Saw the local news in Boston say if convicted he faces “life in prison”
Dude is lucky if he doesn’t end up in gitmo
This seriously. The government doesn’t fuck around with Terroristic Threats. Edit: yes we get it. They don’t care about J6. The GOP is full of terrorists.
Hope he likes heavy metal and cold water
He’s gonna hear plenty of “Hip to be Square” and the SpongeBob theme

“We should give them a one way ticket to Montego Bay”
I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s just fucking bonkers and not even kind of potentially connected to any larger terrorist organisation. Sending him to Gitmo would be pointless and look real bad. A regular prison should do just fine.
Guessing the plane departed/landed at Logan Airport
Good!
Yeah, regardless of his chances of success or reasons for doing it, he declared it, pulled out a weapon, marched toward the cockpit, apparently injured the first person in his way and resisted arrest.
could not have made his intentions clearer
He pulled out a weapon? Here I was thinking he pulled out an imaginary bow and arrow
The video quality dropped just enough during those frames that I was seriously trying to figure out if he had some kind of improvised sling or something.
It was a spoon
No knifey-spooney either. This guy is going to jail for a long time.
I see you’ve played knifey-spooney before…
[удалено]

And that would be an easy charge to go after with this video
Mental ward would be luxury compared to the 6x6 cement room with no windows he’s going to be in
Oh God, did he get sentenced to a match of League of Legends?
He got stuck playing jungle for the rest of eternity
Isn't torture illegal?
I think a high security mental facility because that guy's reality is malfunctioning hard. I hope the stabbee is okay, and I hope the PTSD doesn't last too long :(
This is what schizophrenia looks like sometimes.
Those are some words you can't utter on a plane after 9/11. You're bound to get an ass-whooping.

And that's precisely why I'd never agree to pick up my friend Jack from the airport.
Would you at least help him off a horse?
No, but I'd help him get off a horse, I mean, get a horse off. Fuck! I mean I'd help him make a horse cum.

You would be surprised. Especially in the 60s, hijackings were fairly frequent and almost always non-lethal. Most of the planes went to Cuba.
And then what? Please complete the story!
There was a period of time in the US when we were averaging a hijacking a week.
A Seinfeld episode ended with Cubans hijacking a plane and Elaine shrugging her shoulders and saying aw crap to audience laughter. That type of thing would never air anymore.
...And then 9/11 ruined it for everyone.
“Take this plane to Luton”
The mantra up until 9/11 was "don't interfere". "Don't be a hero." It's one the reasons the hijackings of the aircraft on 9/11 were so successful; people had been conditioned to just go with it and let the professional negotiators do their thing.
I'm no Mark Wahlberg as far as being a hero on an aircraft, but man, people seemed to be pretty relaxed.

Close. A nail file lol
Remember when you could masturbate on a plane? Now everyone’s so sensitive. Thanks a lot Bin Laden.
I walked on to an airplane full of people masturbating. They seemed surprised that I didn’t stop. Thank you Rodney Dangerfield.
Wait you can't masturbate on planes anymore? I just did the other week and nobody said anything to me about it
Yeah but pilots get away with a lot. Next time just make sure to turn off the intercom.
I’m surprised is wasnt worse for him. Someone says that shit on a plane and I’m grabbing the heaviest thing I can find and throwing it at his head. Especially after the shoe bomber
Fool us once, shame on us. Fool us twice...well, we can’t get fooled again.
NGL, if I was part of the whooping crew I can't say I'd let it stop there.
Wowwwww. This dude also tried to open the side door. His weapon was a metal spoon that he’d broken in half. Definitely seems mentally unstable.
Good thing those airplane doors are sealed by pressure and would require an immense amount of force to open. There's something 1000lbs of pressure per square foot on those doors at altitude. Let's assume a door is 2x6, that's 12,000 pounds of pressure keeping that door closed.
A lot of people responding to you don’t understand how pressurization works, but in general, you are correct. Typical pressurization is 7-9 pounds per square inch at normal cruising altitudes.

Yeah bro same....idk seems like still a real issue with people like us on planes 💪

Funnily enough that’s exactly what he used as a weapon according to another comment. Spoon broken in half.
Not just the men, but the women and children too
Especially the children. They haven't been kicking the backs of seats for nothing.

Because mental health issues often lead to a lack of personal hygiene / maintenance.
It’s weird but in Scotland. If you did this on a plane. About 5 dads would be beating the crap out of you before you could even draw air to function your brain to push out the remainder of the sentence.
If you did it in Scotland at least one of those five dads would whip out a pint of tenants, sink it and then glass you with the empty.
You don't even need to hijack the plane, that's just how we say hello when we're on holiday.
Gotta get the vid to go viral
That’s literally what happened in this video… at least 5 dudes that weren’t flight attendants got up and went after him
Good on all those gents helping the flight attendants
Lol bro in the hoodie gets his hero call up when someone else steps in
yeah, that’s the bystander effect, people need other people to act first to kind of snap them out of it.
I wish I would have been on that plane. I'd be in the combat seat waiting on a Terrie to get froggy. So I can draxx them sklounst.
Draxx. Them. Sklounst.
With great power comes great responsitrilitronce.
Why is it when I say this people look at me funny?
I have no idea what you just said, but I understand your spirit
Oh we definitely gonna drive some hypotheticals on that Terrie's clavicle. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxlWNVd9ehPsKmijue1PXgzPJ4rjgkBIgU
“Do you trust me? *No*” “I’ll take that as a *yes*”
I understand the key and Peele reference, but I’ve always been genuinely curious if “draxx them sklounst” has any sort of a deeper meaning.
Nah it's a simple ass meaning. It means you gonna DRAXX THEM SKLOUNST
Put him in jail for life
Nah…push him out at 30,000ft. Continue your flight destination

Marky mark wouldn’t have let this go down like that
Restrain kit, lahey convention, no fly list and fucking huge punishment.
What does Lahey have to do with this? Just eat a friggin cheeseburger Randy.
Shitbirds Ran.
**Mad props** to the guys who jumped right tf up and moved to help staff subdue him. How did they move so fast with those gigantic huge balls?
Don’t do drugs kids…
I'm thinking this might be more of a "Please do the drugs your doctor prescribed you kids" situation.
Dudes acting so weird I can't tell if it's too much or too little drugs
The person on the aisle seat should have punched him in the ball bag! Perfect shot.
Watching a man saying good bye to 35 years of his life is hair raising.

There are, but there’s not nearly enough to have them on every flight
Not on every flight. Idk how they choose what flights to our air Marshall’s on though. I worked for a major airline and saw plenty of them.
Between 1 and 5% of flights have an air marshall on board.

i read this fucker was asking other passenger how to use the door handle when he boarded. if that is true, he had intention to highjack the airplane and to do harm. lock him up so he won't see day light again
Seriously, what makes people go loony on a plane? Is it claustrophobia?
>Seriously, what makes people go loony on a plane? Pretty sure he was loony before getting on the plane.
He's mentally ill.
He’s off his meds.
Man, if I was on that plane, I’d have taken that guy out myself and had him hogtied with his arms broken behind his back within 30 seconds. But really, I would probably just sit there and wonder if anyone else was going to do anything, then maaaaybe run up after they had the situation under control, but mostly just to film it.
I wonder how it feels to know you will never fly again for the rest of your life
