................" Men on the plane jumped up and ran to assist the flight attendant.
“Every guy that was in my area was ready to go,” said Mark Foster, passenger. “It was not even a thought. You can tell buckles were off and people were already leaning toward the aisles.”
The men subdued the unruly passenger while the flight attendant ran to the back and retrieved plastic handcuffs and ankle cuffs.
“It almost made me cry to see the way everybody responded because the gentlemen that could help got up and helped the stewardess; she was just a little bitty thing,” said Jeanna Wisher. “What happened should have happened, everybody got up and did a part that needed to do it.”".............

I have always said, it would be very hard to recreate 9/11 even if the planes were nearly empty and the bag guys had guns.

If you think about it they could have saved a whole lot of trouble, time and fuel by having all the passengers buckle in tight, slowing down the plane to minimum speed, opening one of the doors...and just letting the unruly passenger "walk" or "fly" home. If his "friend" got uppity he could walk too.

I wonder how many times you would have to do that before unruly passengers became a thing of the past. Once? rofllol

Agreed, but obviously most don't, so we must be wrong.
