A California man was arrested after a midair meltdown on a Frontier Airlines flight out of Santa Ana, California. Charles Salva, 30, had just spent the weekend at Disneyland with his 3-year-old daughter. The chaos kicked off when Salva allegedly stood up and tried to rip down his oxygen mask from the overhead compartment while the seat belt sign was still on. When the flight attendants went to check on him, Salva started cursing and screamed, “We are all going to hell” and “This airplane is going down.” He then allegedly grabbed at fellow passengers before running toward the back of the plane, where flight attendants tried to restrain him. Salva choked one crew member and kicked another as the flight attendants and other passengers tried to pin him down. At one point he shouted that he was going to kill everyone, managed to break out of his flex cuffs and eventually had to be restrained with a seat belt. The flight ended up being diverted to Ontario International Airport where Mr. Salva, who, we repeat, had just spent three days with his daughter at Disneyland, was escorted off the plane on a gurney. He later claimed to cops that he had taken ecstasy before boarding the flight.
* Ah – pixie dust!
* When Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride isn’t wild enough.
* It’s called “ecstasy” ’cause it makes you feel so good.
* Ecstasy for him, agony for everyone else.
* The real question is, how did have any money left over for drugs after a weekend at Disney?
