AMARILLO, Texas — The captain of a JetBlue aircraft yelled about a bomb and had to be locked out of the cockpit and restrained Tuesday as Flight 191 from New York to Las Vegas was diverted to Texas, passengers said.
Grant Heppes, a 22-year-old passenger from New York, said a man in a JetBlue uniform walked from the cockpit to the back of the plane and that he started to become disruptive when he was barred from getting back inside.
“Once he got back to the front of the plane, I heard him scream, ‘Let me in!’ ” Heppes said.
The pilot used the announcement system to call for someone to restrain the captain, and some male passengers wrestled him to the floor, said Heidi Karg, another passenger.
