Three Secret Service agents helped passengers banding together to prevent a man from opening the door of an Airbus A-320 flying above Denver, Colorado.
“Had he opened the door, we’d all be dead,” passenger Donna Bell of Visalia, Calif., told the Sacramento Bee after the plane landed.
One passenger said the incident was like a bar fight before passengers and crew who eventually subdued Jose Manuel Pelayo-Ortega from trying to bring the plane down. The man was duct-taped to his seat.
The United Airlines flight was from Denver to Sacramento.
The agents were headed west to join President Bush’s entourage.
