Officials said that one of the unbridled passengers was forced on Nippon Aviation flight from Tokyo to Houston to transfer her to Seattle on Saturday.
CBS News told CBS News that a man tried to open the plane’s exit doors during the flight. Passengers and flight crew members seized the individual before landing.
The plane landed at Seattle Tacoma International Airport at approximately 4:19 am local time, according to Guizlo.
Port of Seattle Police evaluated the man and decided that he was suffering from a medical crisis. He was transferred to a local hospital for more treatment. It is not clear what the man will face, if any.
CBS News contacted the FBI branch in Seattle.
While he was at the airport runway in Seattle, one of the second passenger became unbridled and was also removed by the Seattle Port Police, and all Nippon airlines confirmed. The two incidents are not linked.
Data from Flightaware.com shows that the trip lasted from Seattle to Houston after 7 am directly
“The safety of our passengers and our crew is our top priority, and we commend the efforts to enforce local law to support them,” the airline said in a statement.
