More Airline Fun (But not in the US)
-
Passengers in Australia overpowered a 17-year-old boy armed with a shotgun and ammunition on March 6 as he tried to board a plane near Melbourne after sneaking into the airport.
The teenager entered through a hole in a security fence at Avalon airport, then made his way to a plane with about 160 passengers aboard, Victoria police superintendent Michael Reid told reporters.
“As he approached the plane, he’s mounted or climbed the front stairs to the front of the plane,” he said.
“At that point, passengers have identified that male was carrying a firearm. The male was overpowered by three of the passengers, at least”.
