Video: (PROFANITY Warning) A new idea for airline safety (baseball bats)
By now you've read the stories. Made me think of this guy, and his proposed solution for flight safety. And major props to the passenger who vaulted over 3 rows and took down the bomber, though I would suspect we will hear soon it was an air marshall. Either way, he's a hero.
An Ohio man who witnessed the attempted destruction of a Northwest Airlines flight to Metro Airport said he's proud of how passengers reacted.
Jafry was sitting in the 16th row -- three rows behind the passenger -- when he heard "a pop and saw some smoke and fire." Then, he said, “a young man behind me jumped on him.”
Jafry said there was a little bit of commotion for about 10 to 15 minutes. The incident occurred during the plane's descent, he said.
He said the way passengers responded made him proud to be an American.
