AVIATION

24 SEPTEMBER 2020: SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

Gyeong Jei Lee became unruly on a Korean Air flight en route from Seoul to Seattle. He allegedly placed a plastic bag on his head and started banging on the cockpit door, claiming he had a bomb, and demanding to be flown to Vancouver, Canada. Another passenger on board, Gene Parente, overpowered him, having chased him around the aircraft. The crew did assist, using a taser, but felt that they needed the assistance of a larger able-bodied passenger given Lee’s size.
