Guitarist Helps Subdue Bomb Scare Passenger On Delta Flight

If You're Gonna Do Something Stupid, Avoid Flights With Rappers Onboard

Nevermind FAMS. Maybe what airlines really need to insure safety onboard commercial planes are rappers.

CBS News reports a man who allegedly yelled "I've got a bomb" onboard a Delta Air Lines flight as the plane was on approach to land at Los Angeles International Monday was forcibly subdued by a number of passengers, including members of the band for rap musician Asher Roth.

The unidentified man reportedly made his threat shortly before Delta Flight 110 from Atlanta landed at LAX Monday morning. "The passenger is reported to have made a threat aboard the plane, and was subdued by passengers," said Los Angeles World Airports spokesman Albert Rodriguez.

Chris Llewellyn, who plays bass and guitar for the hip hop artist, recounted the ordeal to the Los Angeles Times.

"We were all sitting in our seats," Llewellyn said. "My boys had their headphones on. I turned around and got up and ran to the back of the plane... The suspect was yelling, 'Don't come near me, I have a bomb, I have a bomb!'"

As the man ran towards a rear emergency exit door, "We all jumped him," Llewellyn said. "He was struggling hardcore. I was holding down his arm. Somebody had a foot on his head. Everyone was holding down a different body part. He was going nuts. I was telling him to chill because he's not going anyplace."

Six other passengers assisted in subduing the man, Llewellyn added. They held him down until a flight attendant was able to locate a restraining kit.
