Frist it was a stewardess on a United Airlines carrier now it is the behavior of a Captain on a Jet Blue carrie. Howie warned us about strange events that would occur during this month.
=======================

A JetBlue flight bound for Las Vegas made an emergency landing in Texas on Tuesday after the captain acted strangely, was locked out of the cockpit by his co-pilot and was wrestled to the ground by passengers, witnesses and authorities said.

The plane’s co-pilot, concerned by the “erratic” behavior, locked the door behind the captain when he left the cockpit during the flight, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Passengers described to CNN what happened next.

“The pilot ran to the cockpit door, began banging on it and said something to the effect of, ‘We’ve gotta pull the throttle back. We’ve gotta get this plane down,’” said Laurie Dhue.

“At that point, the two flight attendants tried to subdue him, and then seemingly out of nowhere, about six or seven large guys stormed to the front of the plane and wrestled the captain of the plane down to the ground and had him subdued in a matter of moments. It was really like something out of a movie,” she said.

Amateur video of the incident showed a commotion as several men were moving in the aisle. A voice, purportedly that of the pilot, can be heard.

“Oh my God. I’m so distraught!” he shouts. The voice mentions Israel and Iraq.

In another video, passengers appeared to be standing over something, or someone, presumably the subdued pilot.

Paul Babakitis, another passenger and a retired New York police officer, said he was one of the men who helped wrestle the captain to the ground.

“I felt if he got in the cockpit, he was going to try to take that plane down, and not for a safe landing,” he said.

Law enforcement met the aircraft, cuffed the pilot and took him off the plane, Babakitis said. Video showed someone being carried off the plane in a sort of chair.

“I’m not foreign to situations like this, but I don’t expect them at 30,000 feet,” he said.

Babakitis and some other passengers reported hearing the captain say the word “bomb” at one point. However, passenger Jason Levin said he did not hear him say that.

Levin was sitting in the front row of the plane, full of people on their way to a security conference, when the pilot came out of the cockpit.

“It just seemed like something triggered him to go off the wall. He would be calm one minute and then just all of sudden turn,” he said. “If it was going to happen, it happened at the right time and the right place.”

Passenger Tony Antolino hailed the co-pilot as a hero.

“The co-pilot of the flight, he really I think is the hero here, because he had the sense to recognize that something was going horribly wrong and he was able to persuade the pilot out of the cockpit,” he told CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight.”

Jet Blue Flight 191 left New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport at 7:28 a.m.

“At roughly 10 a.m. CT/11 a.m. ET, the pilot in command elected to divert to Amarillo, Texas, for a medical situation involving the captain. Another captain, traveling off duty, entered the flight deck prior to landing at Amarillo and took over the duties of the ill crew member once on the ground,” JetBlue said.

The crew member was taken off the plane and transported to a medical facility, it added.

FBI Special Agent Lydia Maese said the FBI responded to the incident and is coordinating with Amarillo and airport police, the FAA and the Transportation Safety Administration. She declined further comment, saying an investigation is pending.

Everything considered, passenger Antolino said he felt thankful. “This could have had a horrific outcome.”

Howie, where is the man who knows all things alien?

John Hayward has an analysis on the on-going Trayvon Martin case. It seems that it’s devolving in to a three-ring circus, with everyone from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson contributing their two cents. John cautions the media to use some restraint and wait for all the facts to come forward before passing judgment a la the Duke Lacrosse case.

Our contributor on defense issues, Robert Maginnis, analyzes the Iran situation and the threat Tehran’s proxies within this country can pose if Iran and Israel are to go to war. A stark reminder of the ramifications that can face all of us if those two countries strike each other.

If you are a Daily Events veteran, you know that we showcase the heavy hitters of conservative opinion. For years, Patrick J. Buchanan has always provided hard-hitting commentary and analysis on the pertinent topics of the day. Today is no different. Pat asks where did the president in Tucson go in response to the Trayvon Martin case? Instead of dousing the flames, he is stoking them, Pat says.

A great Tuesday in store, and keep your eyes peeled to the Supreme Court. As one tweet I read said, Today will be “the most important day at the Supreme Court since Bush v. Gore.”

See you all tomorrow.
