Marshal subdues passenger after incident on U-S-Airways flight

OKLAHOMA CITY U-S Airways says one of its flights has been diverted to Oklahoma City, after a federal air marshal subdued a passenger on board.

The airline says the passenger had been involved in an incident with a flight attendant. The flight from Phoenix had been headed to Charlotte, North Carolina.

An airline spokesman says authorities are questioning the passenger. There's no word on what happened between the passenger and the flight attendant

Word on the street is that the passenger was autistic, so I guess that may have something to do with it.

I figured it might have something to do with green limes (or lack thereof).

The crazy man was supposedly in row 1. So I guess they ran out of the chicken and only has the salad left.

I heard he was previously on that Virgin Atlantic flight that was delayed for 7 hours.
Post traumatic flight syndrome I think they said.

OKC--and TUL--have the dubious honor of being the very first destinations dropped by America West, after less than a year of service. December '83 to October '84. And they've never returned...

I believe OKC has actually been doing pretty good. All 3 flights are with the CRJ-900. Hopefully we'll see some trips out east before too long. Of course mainline would be nice, growing up in Ohio always saw USAir every where...live here and the only shots at see mainline metal is a diversion about once a year.
