A guy freaked out on a Delta flight from Seattle to Beijing on Thursday night and tried to open the exit door in midair.
A 23-year-old guy named Joseph Hudek was on a Delta Airlines flight from Seattle to Beijing on Thursday night, and about an hour into the flight, he went nuts.
He started trying to open the exit door, and he was punching anyone who tried to stop him.
Eventually, one of the flight attendants whacked him over the head with a wine bottle
to stop him . . . and then a bunch of other passengers tackled him and held him down while the plane flew back to Seattle.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office charged him with interfering with a flight crew.
And according to Delta, it’s a good thing his meltdown didn’t happen any earlier into the flight . . . because if the plane had been at a lower altitude, he actually might’ve been able to get the door open.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
