Traveler wanting to down a Lufthansa plane restrained by crew and passengers

Lufthansa crew and passengers acted and restrained a passenger wanting to down a plane from Frankfurt to Belgrade.

A passenger on a Lufthansa flight on its way from Frankfurt to Belgrade on Sunday was detained after he threatened to open the plane door and bring down the aircraft.

Banging on a cockpit door, the man reportedly threated to down the Lufthansa plane as it was flying over Austria. Though he wouldn’t actually have been able to open the doors, he was restrained by the crew and some passengers, Lufthansa said.

A passenger got up and tried to do something at the door, but was stopped by crew members and other passengers.

Flight 1406 eventually landed in Belgrade, its planned destination, where the troublemaker was handed over to local police and arrested. The crew never reported the emergency situation to flight control.
