Marine says he tackled ‘unruly’ man accused of trying to open exit door on flight

On All Nippon Airways Flight 114 from Tokyo to Houston, Sgt. Maj. Jody Armentrout noticed a passenger behaving suspiciously, including attempting to access emergency exits. Acting quickly, he restrained the man after he tried to open an exit door, using zip ties provided by flight attendants, and the plane was diverted to Seattle due to the incident. The unruly passenger was later assessed as experiencing a medical crisis, while another passenger was removed for an unrelated disturbance; no charges have been filed as of now.
