Three fast-responding U.S. Marines are being credited with subduing a disruptive passenger Monday during a flight from Tokyo to Dallas. When it was opened, the Marines grabbed the passenger and applied flex ties to keep him restrained, the report said. The Marines then secured the passenger in a seat and maintained watch over him until the flight could land at Los Angeles International Airport, where it had been diverted so the passenger could be taken for a mental evaluation. “I knew I had to step in when he became a danger to others and himself,” Meinhardt, a mortarman, told WNCT. Working with the flight crew, we got the door open and from there worked together to subdue him.
