The Great Ongoing Aviation Thread (general and other) (Part 1)

There’s a new thread on this incident that could just as easily go here.

Off-duty pilot tries to shut down the engines mid-flight

He was riding in the jump seat, presumably on the way home? Thankfully the crew was able to subdue him and he was taken into custody when they landed at Portland. There’s almost certainly a bigger story as to why this guy tried to commit mass murder.
