A Marine ‘Slammed’ and Zip-tied a Passenger to His Seat After He Claims Man Attempted to Open Plane Door Mid-Flight
Jody Armentrout acted quickly on a Tokyo flight to Houston
By Rachel Flynn
A U.S. Marine acted quickly after noticing a man grab the emergency exit door.
Sergeant Major Jody Armentrout, who has served in the Marines for 20 years, was on a flight from Tokyo to Houston on May 24, when he noticed a man acting suspicious. The fellow passenger took his backpack into one of the lavatories before he walked out, went into a second lavatory, and then a third.
“He came out of that one and began pacing up and down the aisle, so that just threw my radar on,” Armentrout, who is stationed in Japan, told NBC News in a phone interview about his All Nippon Airways flight from Tokyo to Houston.
Keeping a steady eye on the suspicious passenger, Armentrout, 50, said he saw the man eyeing the emergency exit door adjacent to him. That’s when the Marine intervened by standing up and blocking the man’s way to the door.
Armentrout said he saw the passenger turn around and run straight through the galley to another emergency exit door. That’s when Armentrout’s instincts and training kicked in.
“He grabbed a strap around the door, pulled it off, and about that time is when I took him and slammed him, put him on the ground,” Armentrout told NBC News. “And then there was an older gentleman sitting on that side that woke up, and he got up and kind of helped me.”
Flight attendants handed Armentrout zip ties to keep the man secured to the seat while the plane took a detour to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. In the meantime, Armentrout sat next to the man for the duration of the flight.

BZ SgtMaj! Pro tip, if at altitude let the meltdown tire himself out with the door a while first- no way he’ll overcome the pressure differential and actually open the thing.

A shooting near Seattle’s Pike Place Market Wednesday night resulted in one death and two injuries.After the shooting broke out at approximately 10 p.m. at the corner of 1st Avenue and Union Street, Seattle Police Department (SPD) officers needed just two minutes to get to the scene and began lifesaving measures. Two of the responding officers were EMT-qualified, according to SPD.
Three people were involved in an altercation before one of them pulled out a gun and fired at the other two individuals, injuring them both. The suspect then fled the scene.
“When he did (flee), he encountered a private citizen who was licensed to carry,” SPD Chief Shon Barnes told KIRO 7. “That private citizen fired his weapon, striking the suspect. We did recover the suspect’s weapon, and that private citizen is cooperating with us and providing a statement at this time.”
Both victims and the suspect were taken to Harborview Medical Center. The suspect succumbed to their injuries and died at the hospital, while the two victims remain in serious condition.

Possibly some mighty fine police work right there. Thanks to our own David and Gun Bunny for today’s links.
The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.

I like how he basically said his NCO spider sence went off and he knew somebody was about to fuck up.
SarMaj Jody was going home to make sure another Jody was not got his girl and gone. Side tracked by a dumbass.
Carry concealed…every.where.you.go! A prime example of why you should.
“…gang related…”? Yeah, I’ll go out further on a limb and say it was the trash taking out the trash. We’ll hear from the other yoot again.
Libs are entitled to their opinions and get mad when you confuse them with the facts.
