Revolution Heroes Help Subdue Naked Man On Planehttp://wbztv.com/local/new.england.revolution.2.774646.htmlBOSTON (WBZ) ―
Several staff members of the New England Revolution, including the soccer team's general manager, were on a flight from Boston to Los Angeles that had to be diverted when a passenger walked up and down the aisle naked and then tried to open the plane's emergency door.
The FBI said the Revs personnel helped subdue the unruly passenger. No one was injured.
The American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing in Oklahoma after the naked man ran up and down the aisle at 30,000 feet. Officials said the man went to the bathroom and emerged without clothes. He returned to his seat, but about 10 minutes later he got up again and tried to open an emergency door.
The Revs were able to stop him, though officials said no physical confrontation occurred. They were able to bring the man back to his seat where flight attendants used tie wraps to strap him down. He was removed from the flight in Oklahoma City.The Revolution personnel on the flight included goalkeepers coach Gwynnne Williams, general manager Craig Tornberg, and director of soccer Mike Burns. Burns was born and raised in Marlboro and played for the Revolution from 1996 until 2000.
What a case!! Glad the team scored a 'goal' by subduing this guy! :P
