Captain Clayton Osbon watched Serenity too many times

Passengers tackle 'crazy' pilot yelling about bombs and Iraq

'Say your prayers... We're all going down!' screams captain to terrified travellers on JetBlue flight



A PILOT had to be wrestled to the floor by passengers on a flight from New York to Las Vegas yesterday after ranting about bombs and screaming: "Say your prayers... We're all going down!"

The farcical scenes began 34,000 feet up in the air while Captain Clayton Osbon was flying the JetBlue airbus over Kansas and Oklahoma. According to the New York Post, he began ranting about bombs, unnerving his first officer who advised him to go to the bathroom to "cool off".

Then, in full view of 135 passengers, he reportedly began running up and down the aisle shouting: "Say your prayers, say your prayers. Iraq, al-Qaeda, terrorism, we're all going down!" This part of Osbon's breakdown is captured in the video below.

An off-duty pilot stepped into the cockpit to help the first officer and swiftly locked the door. But this further enraged Osbon, who apparently began to hammer on the door, shouting: "You gotta let me in!"

Crew members tried to calm him down but when he allegedly pushed a female flight attendant and ran for an emergency exit, several male passengers intervened.

The travellers, who described Osbon as going "crazy", wrestled him to the floor. One retired New York police officer, Paul Babakitis, said he didn't know Osbon was the captain of the plane at the time. "I just saw a deranged person," he said. "I thought he was a terrorist... trying to get into the cockpit."

After Osbon broke two pairs of plastic zip-tie handcuffs, passengers tied him up with belts and sat on him until the jet made an emergency landing in Amarillo, Texas, where he was taken to hospital.

The FBI, Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the incident.

His wife, Connye Osbon, last night told ABC News she had "no idea what's going on". But several family members and friends have expressed shock that such a "fun-loving" and "easy-going" guy could lose his cool so dramatically.

Seriously...

If the pilot had actually said "'We may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode'"

Despite the obvious terror and fear you would have initially felt...

who here would have been grinning like fools?


I sure would have been screaming 'I AM A FEATHER IN THE WIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As usual, the EFFECTIVE response comes from us ordinary peons, rather than the useless overbearing security theatre apparatus.

Just pointin that out.

The inflight movie was the fictionalized account of FLIGHT 93.

The whole point of me even checking this thread out was to compliment on the usage of one of Mal's lines.

Then I saw yours, and HAD to comment.

You see, the 'leaf on the wind' line holds a fond memory for me. Years ago, long, long before there ever was a Firefly, I was at a friends wedding reception. I was contemplating on whether to drive home that night, or stay over, and hit the town w/ the wedding party, bride and groom included. Having enjoyed a few adult beverages, I was at that fine point of...

A - stopping, and begin the sober up process, or
B - carry on w/ the rest of the group, and stay the night.

And so, to no one in particular, I uttered ... " I am as a leaf upon the wind, so blow me " indicating that all I needed was the slightest twist of the arm to convince me to stay. Then, before anyone else could respond, a buddy of mine blurted out " I'll blow you! "

Which was a huge surprise to both me and his girlfriend... Clearly, he didn't mean it THAT way, though I did stay over that night. Had a blast, too.

And so, when many years had gone by, I heard Wash utter that 'leaf on the wind' line, I couldn't believe it... just too gorram funny.

I hope it was just a stress thing and he'll be back to normal soon.
I can't believe they'd show a movie about a crashing plane on a flight.

Hello,

I can't believe it either.

Never forget what this man is. You keep forgiving him his trespasses and speak to him as though he is a reasonable human being. You keep forgetting the things he's advocated. If you respond to this man again, you are being foolish.
