Duct-taped flyer claims amnesia after midair assault; seatmate cites spiritual warfare
Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, told a Maryland court he had no memory of his violent outburst on American Airlines Flight 618, which led to his restraint with duct tape and an emergency landing in Baltimore. While Lundeen claimed confusion about his location, his seatmate, author Jonathan Cahn, described the incident as a sudden spiritual attack that mirrored events in his new book. Lundeen faces assault charges and was released on his own recognizance pending a hearing in October.
