An heroic father-of-three stopped a lady from storming the cockpit twice while yelling “Allahu Akbar” as she stormed through the Manchester-bound jet in just her underpants.
On Tuesday, August 9, Phillip O’Brien, 35, was a passenger on a Jet2 aircraft travelling from Lanarca, Cyprus to Manchester when, soon after takeoff, a lady in her 30s produced a frightened scene.
The lady asked the youngsters she was with whether they were “ready to die” and appeared to imply that she had explosives on board.
She also revealed that her parents were ISIS terrorists to the staff and horrified passengers.
Six members of Mr. O’Brien’s family, including his wife and three kids, ages eight to fourteen, were on board. Mr. O’Brien is the owner of a drainage company.
He said that everyone was “sh*****g themselves,” but as he saw the situation, he questioned the employees about why no one was placing the woman on the ground before offering to assist.
The 35-year-old, who was a security guard as a kid, told The Mirror that everything was going according to plan until soon after takeoff, when a lady came up the aisle while completely nude and hammered on the cockpit door while yelling “Allahu Akbar.”
I asked the personnel, “Why have you not placed her to the floor?” as I talked to them.
They said, “We’re unable to.” Well, I am, I responded.
When the lady returned to the cockpit, the pilot made an emergency landing in Paris after seizing control of the aircraft and escorting the passenger to the ground.
When the guy questioned the lady why she was speaking in such a way, she allegedly said, “If I didn’t there’s going to be an explosion and everyone is going to die,” according to Mr. O’Brien.
One passenger told MailOnline that her daughter had been horrified by the other passenger’s behaviour.
I was more concerned about my daughter, who had a severe panic attack because she was so terrified, the woman said.
Simply put, you were afraid of what she would do if you closed your eyes.
After the aircraft took off, the lady reportedly began shouting, and her weird behaviours continued for hours.
She said, “It was absolutely insane.” She had the luggage on her head, giving off the impression that she was inebriated.
She wasn’t inebriated, according to the cabin staff, who had smelled her breath.
“I have no idea how she got past security.”
“We’ve instructed the captain to call this in as an emergency landing,” the cabin staff said.
There was no sense of a terrorist occurrence.
We arrived in Paris and were forced to wait on the aircraft for an hour while the logistics were worked out.
Because it was after three or four in the morning, I believe, the French refused to refuel us.
According to The Mirror, Jet2 acknowledged that the aircraft was diverted to Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport early on Tuesday morning in order to “offload” a “disruptive passenger.”
A lady wearing a red shirt and a black cap seems to be being arrested or restrained in social media video that depicts a chaotic situation.
“Jet2 Cirque De Soleil – Mad lady raced down aisle mid-slight half nude half p****d herself and collapsed,” is the description for the video.
