A federal criminal complaint says crew members and other passengers secured Brandon Michael Courneyea using zip ties. Orlando television station WFTV (https://bsmedia.business-standard.comat.Wftv.Com/2qqFxc7 ) reports the FBI was contacted about 7:30 pm Monday.
Investigators said Courneyea yelled at passengers for "looking at him." He then grabbed a coffee pot from the galley and swung it at crew members before saying it would "only take one guy to take the plane down." He lunged for a rear door and began pulling the lever.
