A passenger on a United Airlines flight from Newark to New Orleans was arrested on Monday night after allegedly threatening to bomb the aircraft and storm the cockpit. The 34-year-old, identified as Rony Gomez Alberto, was restrained at the back of the plane as the plane landed safely at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport at around 11:15 pm.
Prosecutors say Alberto, who reportedly spoke little English, was charged with communicating false information about a planned arson and terrorising. The incident follows a similar threat from another passenger on a United Airlines flight to New Jersey in October.
