Heard on Atlanta Radio 129.6, about 2:15 eastern on the 6th. Shuttle America flight to IAD (flt7515??). Pilots were reporting to dispatch that a man wielded a knife, and slit his wrists. They said a paramedic said he was stable, and they were going to continue to IAD. 5 minutes later they call back again and said that the man pulled out another knife and was trying to cut himself again. Anybody know the outcome.
 
I've commuted on Shuttle, this guys reaction seems appropriate.
Sure am glad Homeland Security is busy with New Orleans, or they would have dispatched some F-16's.

Was it because of what he was earning in the right seat?
