A routine flight from New York City to Chicago turned chaotic Sunday after a disturbance onboard led to the plane being diverted to Detroit, with the FBI on scene at landing and passengers describing the tense and frightening moments.
“They were all chanting on the intercom to put our heads down and hands up,” passenger Huxley Werner said, with cell phone video from inside the plane showing passengers hands on the scenes in front of them. “And nobody knew what was really going on at that point.”
The flight, American Airlines 2819, departed from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City at 8:59 a.m. ET, and was originally set to land at Chicago O’Hare International Airport at 10:57 am. CT. It was diverted to Detroit Metro Airport, landing at 11:08 a.m. ET, due to a “disruptive customer” the airlines said in a statement.
According to American, the aircraft was met at landing with law enforcement and medical personnel. The customer was then taken off the plane, the airline said.
Members of the FBI Detroit Field Officer were also present at the airport “conducting law enforcement activities,” the FBI confirmed to NBC Chicago. The FBI added that there was no threat to the public.
