Robert Hersey arrested for 'trying to open plane door'

[img_r]http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/52662000/gif/_52662267_1nh56qvi.gif[/img_r]A US man has been arrested after trying to open an emergency exit door during a Florida to Boston flight, police say.

Robert Hersey, 43, of Arlington, Massachusetts, pulled the handle on the door, triggering an alarm, officials said. Witnesses described him as drunk.

A flight attendant escorted him to the rear of the plane and an off-duty police officer sat with him for the duration of the Delta flight.

Mr Hersey was charged on Tuesday night with interfering with a flight crew.

Passengers told local media Mr Hersey, who was wearing a shirt supporting the Boston Bruins hockey team, was foul-mouthed, intoxicated and unhappy the flight was late.

He tried to open the exit door on the Airbus 320 about half-way between Orlando, in Florida, and Boston, Massachusetts, passengers told the Boston Globe.

Mr Hersey was scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday.

There are total idiots, and then there are complete morons. Wow. At least they didn't charge him with attempted terrorism or something dumb like that.

Haven't you ever heard of DB Cooper? Maybe he just wanted to see if he could make it out alive.

In essence, this man has the right to open doors as an American citizen. You're turning into a bunch of communists.

Fox news.

Trying to meet the quota.

I don't watch Fox News (don't have TV), but we are turning into commies. You guys already are commies.

Odds that DB Cooper made it? I'm guessing he did.

I heard this on the tv news the other night. (ABC I think. Whatever channel my wife had on when I got home from work.)
He is a moron. But since he is a Bruins fan I am being somewhat redundant.

So where do you pick up the paranoia towards governments and disasters? The internet?

I reckon he did make it, not a huge amount of things that could've gone horribly wrong without anyone on the ground noticing.

Rock - Yeah, you'd think they'd find bones, money, or some other evidence. Nothing. So odds are he made it. Or of course applying Occam's Razor.

I own a TV. It's hooked up to the DVD player but that's it. If I want to watch a Packers game, I go to the bar or a friend's house.

As for paranoia, I'm a historian. If a historian isn't paranoid, he's an idiot. History does the same crap over and over again.

I wonder how different this tale ends if he or others on the plane were allowed to carry a weapon?

As far as the drunken idiot attempting to open the door in-flight, he obviously has no concept of physics.

Of course this also means you're a dumbfuck.

Or at least someone else with screwed up values. Everyone knows that history is just a bunch of dead people, usually males of the hegemonic paternalistic imperialistic sort. That the world has changed and so we can ignore all those dead people and their dumb crap decisions. We're so obviously a smarter species now.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game
