Chaos erupted in the sky Sunday as a deranged man on a flight to Scotland threatened to blow up the plane and “send a message” of death to Donald Trump while the U.S. president is in Scotland.
“I’m going to bomb the plane! Death to America! Death to Trump!” the 41-year-old man screamed before fellow passengers tackled him to the floor of easyJet flight 609 from London to Glasgow.
The harrowing incident took place about 8 a.m., an hour after departure from London’s Luton Airport.
One passenger told the London newspaper The Sun: “He literally came out of the toilet shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ (God is great) with his hands above his head. Then he said ‘I’ve got a bomb, I’ve got a bomb’ – at this point, people were confused.”

“I thought he was joking, I mean, it’s a weird joke.”
“He pushed the airline staff and was being aggressive towards them. He was a big guy, about six foot, and they were these petite women,” the passenger added.
“When he pushed them, that’s when things changed. At that point, one guy managed to grab him from behind and pull him down, then everyone jumped on top of him.
“He was fighting a bit on the floor, but at this point, he knew he’d f***ked up.”
“The pilot announced he was making an emergency landing and took the plane down so quickly,” he continued.
“Everyone who wasn’t restraining him was told to sit down. The three guys pinning him down, they landed whilst pinning him down. It was incredible.
“I’ve never seen that before. The airline staff, they were all girls, they were really shaken up by it, but they were super professional.”
“Some of the passengers were crying because they were shaken up. It was just a bit surreal.”
President Trump was just an hour away from Glasgow at his Turnberry golf course, as he announced new trade deals with the European Union.
EasyJet confirmed police arrested a suspect whose name has not been released after the plane was forced to make an emergency landing.
“Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow this morning was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behavior onboard,” the company indicated.
“The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.”
