A video capturing the man’s outburst has gone viral, showing him not only threatening to bomb the plane but also shouting phrases such as “death to America, death to Trump,” and “Allahu Akbar,” which translates to “God is Great” in Arabic. The footage further depicts a male passenger courageously tackling the man to the ground, attempting to subdue him until authorities could intervene.
