Two-minute footage of the suspect was shared by a woman named Jessica Robertson. She wrote, “This was our view from the 3rd row right after the Delta attendants and passengers apprehended the person who attempted to get into the cockpit. He was screaming ‘Stop the plane.'”
She added, “I was on this flight in the 3rd row – witness to everything. Terrifying but our Delta flight attendant Christopher Williams acted quickly. So did several passengers around me. Safe but still in Albuquerque. Hope Delta gives Chris every bit of recognition and bonus he deserves.”
