Man Bites Passenger, Jumps Off PlaneTuesday, January 24, 2006

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — An airline passenger bit a fellow traveler Monday, then jumped out of a jetliner as it was moving to take off, authorities said. He was later subdued with a stun gun.

The man was taken to a hospital from the Fort Lauderdale airport, the Broward County sheriff's office said. It was unclear whether he was injured. The other passenger suffered minor injuries from the bite.

The Continental Airlines flight had been delayed for about 30 minutes, and as the Boeing 737 began to taxi, the man started yelling to get off, the sheriff's office said.

He ran to the front of the plane and banged on windows and the cockpit door, authorities said. As passengers and crew members tried to restrain him, he bit a passenger.

When the pilot depressurized the cabin, the man opened a door, jumped to the tarmac and ran toward the terminal. Deputies said they zapped him with a stun gun after he resisted arrest.

Troy Rigby, 28, will be charged with criminal mischief, criminal trespass, battery, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer, in addition to an outstanding warrant for marijuana possession, the sheriff's office said.

Passenger Jumps From Moving Jet
Tuesday, February 14, 2006

ATLANTA — A passenger on a Delta jet was injured Tuesday when he opened the catering door after his plane landed and jumped to the tarmac below.
The man, whose identity was not released, leaped out of a door on the right side of the Boeing 767 jet at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, according to Transportation Security Administration spokesman Christopher White. The man fell about 20 feet to the ground.
He was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital and was in fair condition, White said. He said he did not know what kind of injuries the man sustained.
Flight 1047, which had just arrived from Orlando, was at a gate on the E Concourse and was not moving when the passenger jumped at around 8:30 a.m., White said.
The man's behavior had come to the attention of the flight attendants, who had to calm him down while the plane was still in the air.
"He was agitated during the flight, but complied with the flight attendants," White said.
The plane was scheduled to depart for Cancun after the stop in Atlanta, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Slam dunk lawsuit. He'll say he was looking for the exit and this one wasn't blocked so he walked out. Will get $$$ from the airline.
