Flight goes into chaos after passenger tries entering cockpit, threatens crew members

A passenger on the flight traveling from Miami to New Jersey was taken into custody and charged for disruptive behaviour and reportedly making threats during the long flight.

On February 9, as stated in a press release by the District of New Jersey’s attorney’s office, authorities removed Luis A. Vaquero from the plane after he shouted at the captain, flight attendants, and harassed passengers on a flight to Newark.

Officials explained that the 27-year-old from Passaic County, N.J., refused to follow flight attendants' directions, and continuously banged on the cockpit door, threatening the captain before finally being removed from the flight by law enforcement at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Vaquero is facing charges in Newark federal court for disrupting and intimidating the flight crew.

According to the legal filings, Vaquero began disturbing other passengers shortly after the plane took flight from Miami, allegedly threatening a disabled minor with physical harm and made offensive comments towards Jewish passengers on board.

After being refused alcohol  by a flight attendant due to the beverage service being closed, he strongly warned them, saying, "You better watch out, s***’s gonna happen to you."

The defendant then made his way to the cockpit and started aggressively banging on it, as he demanded for the pilot to come out.

When a crew member tried to step in, he yelled, "I will really break your f****** jaw."

The law enforcement were involved as soon as the plane landed in Newark Liberty International Airport, according to the release.
