Duct-Taped Disruptor Sparks Emergency Landing On US Flight

An American Airlines flight from Dallas to Newark diverted to Baltimore after a disruptive passenger was restrained with zip ties and duct tape by two passengers and a flight attendant; the man became violent, allegedly hurling slurs and assaulting others, and was restrained for about 15 minutes until authorities boarded the plane and took him into custody after the landing. The incident underscores ongoing concerns about unruly travelers, with the FAA reporting numerous incidents this year and penalties for offenders.
