Rarely do you hear the words "At that point, I just put him into a choke hold" coming from a flight attendant.
But this is exactly what happened on US Airways flight 1447 last week when passenger Kinman Chan allegedly started freaking out after he doubled up on his dose of medicinal marijuana.
According to reports, halfway into the flight, Mr. Chan started losing his mind - screaming, banging on the bathroom doors and opening compartments in the rear of the plane.
He then went into a bathroom and came out with his pants down. It was at this point that flight attendant Lorin Gorman told him to sit down. When he refused, he also made a threatening motion to her - so she put him in an arm lock, jumped on him, and put him in a choke hold.
The plane was diverted to Pittsburgh where Chan was arrested and charged with disrupting a flight attendant. He now faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
One time I was offered by a friend to take brownies before flying on a plane. What did I respond? No effin way I will FREAK out. Well looks like I made the right choice after this guy doubled his dosage of medical marijuana. Just his luck, that Jackie Chans wife would be on this plane, to kick his ass. 250,000 dollar fine and a bad trip, doesn't get much worse then that
