Passenger breaks into American Airlines cockpit
A passenger stormed into the cockpit of an American Airlines jet and damaged flight deck equipment. Thankfully the plane was still on the ground at the airport in Honduras.
It happened during passenger boarding for a flight to Miami, the airline said.
He then then tried to jump out of an open window as a pilot tried to apprehend him. The man was arrested at the airport.
A replacement jet was sent, causing a delay of several hours.
