Unruly passenger diverts flight from IAH to New York
A man caused United 1435 to divert to Memphis on Saturday. After departing from IAH, he began to harass another passenger and it escalated into him trying to rush the cockpit. After landing in Memphis, the man was removed and the plane searched for a gun. The passengers finally were put on a new plane and taken to EWR, never making it to their original LGA destination. A fellow passenger recorded video of the incident. (www.click2houston.com) עוד...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Did anybody every say why they went to EWR instead of original final destination of LGA?
This article says due to hour restrictions on takeoffs and landings at LGA:
