LESS THAN 24 HOURS, AFTER FINDING TWO BODIES IN THE WHEEL WELL OF ONE OF ITS PLANES THAT LANDED IN SOUTH FLORIDA, ANOTHER INCIDENT INVOLVING JetBlue. THIS TIME A MAN, WHO FELLOW PASSENGERS SAY APPEARED TO BE EXTREMELY IRRITATED, OPENED THE EMERGENCY DOOR ON A FLIGHT THAT WAS TAXIING FOR TAKEOFF AT LOGAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN BOSTON.
AIRPORT OFFICIALS CALLED THE MASSECHUSETTS STATE POLICE AT AROUND 7:30 TUESDAY NIGHT AS THE FLIGHT GOT READY TO DEPART FROM BOSTON TO SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO.
OTHER PASSENGERS RESTRAINED THE MAN UNTIL TROOPERS ARRIVED AND ARRESTED HIM.
IN A STATEMENT TO CNN, JetBlue said,” A customer, for unknown reasons, opened an overwing exit while the aircraft was taxiing at Logan, causing the deployment of an emergency slide.”
THE PASSENGER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS 23-YEAR-OLD ANGEL LUIS MORALES TORRES, APPEARED IN EAST BOSTON DISTRICT COURT ON WEDNESDAY. HE’S CHARGED WITH INTERFERING WITH AIRCRAFT OPERATION. THE JUDGE RELASED HIM TO HIS PARENTS AFTER THEY POSTED THE 500 DOLLAR BAIL.
THIS MAN, FRED WYNN, WAS ON THE FLIGHT. HE TOLD BOSTON CBS AFFILIATE WBZ, THAT MORALES TORRES APPEARED TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ARGUMENT WITH A YOUNG WOMEN, SITTING NEXT TO HIM ON THE FLIGHT.
“He was so agitated. I guess his girl was looking at something on her cell phone and he wanted to see what she was looking at and she wouldn’t give him the phone to look at and that’s what set him off.“
AN OFF-DUTY FBI AGENT WAS ABLE TO HANDCUFF MORALES TORRES UNTIL STATE TROOPER ARRIVED.
HIS ATTORNEY SAYS TORRES HAS NO RECOLLECTION OF THE INCIDENT AND THIS WAS MORE OF A MEDICAL ISSUE THAN A CRIMINAL ONE
“he basically went into a fog and was not aware of what was happening until he came to”
THE JUDGE IS ALLOWING MORALES-TORRES TO GO HOME TO PUERTO RICO TO BE WITH PARENTS.
MEANTIME THE TUESDAY NIGHT FLIGHT, TO SAN JUAN, WITH ALL THE PASSENGERS ABOARD, WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT THERE SAFELY..
