UAL Diverts.....
 

Good on the pax for stepping up.....

Las Vegas Bound Flight Diverted Due to Unruly Passenger - Sphere News

Sounds like the pax intended to be more than just unruly. Opening a door could be deadly. Whatever was in the brown bag could have been planned to be deadly, also, by his comment when asked what was in it.... "you'll see".

But, probably just a nut job. Thanks, again, to the pax for keeping everybody safe.

Not like I will ever try it but isnt it physically impossible to open the doors inflight while pressurized.

At least some pressurization has injured more than one FA when she opened the door and was blown out of the cabin.

Is Washington DC now offering UAL tickets to get the homeless to go across the coast (like NYC used to give out bus tickets to SF)?

Well, if a door is 7'x3' and the press diff is 7 psi, it would take 21,168 pounds of force to open the door. The Hulk could probably do it, but not a mere mortal :D This idiot is just lucky he didn't end up dead like that Southwest pax a few years ago.

Chuck Norris could do it too. Chuck Norris can do anything. :p:D

Don't forget Jack Bauer also....:D

Not to mention impossible...

Pretty sure they weren't airborne though...
