Passenger attacks flight attendant, meets "93rd Volunteer Infantry"
2005-09-08
EFL. Speaking of monuments to Flight 93, . . .
Jason Glen Tervort flew much of the way from Houston to Denver Tuesday night on the floor of the plane, tied up with duct tape.

Fellow passengers on Frontier Flight 147 subdued him, according to court documents, after he walked up the aisle toward the cockpit, loudly stated, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. My name is Jason," and then roughed up a female flight attendant while proclaiming repeatedly, "I'm on drugs! stupid! a moonbat! a man!"
I can hear his defense attorney now: "It was perfomrance art, Your Honor; he was doing his Muddy Waters imitation. Had he not been so rudely interrupted, his next words after 'I'm a man' would have been 'I spell M! A! N!'"
The flight attendant told authorities later that Tervort attacked her after she told him to sit down, poking her in the shoulder and chest, pushing her, slapping her and shouting profanities. Unable to reach her emergency whistle, she yelled for help.
Let's roll!
"Several male passengers exited their seats and physically restrained Tervort," court documents said. "Tervort continued yelling profanities while hissing spitting at and making faces biting passengers." The male passengers tied Tervort's arms and legs with duct tape, then put him face-down on the center aisle and tied his feet to seat rails. Other passengers were moved to the front of the plane but some of the men sat around Tervort until the plane landed at Denver International Airport.

When Denver police officers boarded, they found Tervort still tied up on the floor.
"Officers, I have an announcement to make. My name is Jason. I'm immobilized!"
I think it's just 'performance art' on the part of the passengers.
Police arrested Tervort and took him to a hospital. He remained in custody Wednesday and was to appear in federal court today.
Make sure he's wearing a muzzle.

#1  A google search on "Jason Tervort" yields a Louisiana jockey by that name, but no picture (well, one, but he's riding in a race, and you can't see his face). There's a picture of the airplane Tervort here.
