Alaska Airlines flight made an emergency landing after the passenger threatened to storm the cockpit because he could not use the toilet in the first class.
A flight from John F. Kennedy Airport (New York) to Los Angeles was forced to land in Kansas City when a man tried to enter the cockpit and created a threat. As it turned out, he was upset that he was not allowed to use empty upscale bathrooms.
The naughty passenger was held back until the plane landed and the Kansas police arrested him.
The Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed that the 411 Alaska Airlines Flight landed “without incident” in Kansas City at around 4 hours after “passenger clutter”.
Alaska Airlines initially disputed the message that an undisciplined passenger was trying to get into the cockpit, — reports CBS News: "Currently, we have no signs that he was trying to break into the cockpit."
