"Some passengers and crew grabbed the man and tackled him to the floor," 

Regardless what the man's intent was, regardless what his state of mind was, all who got involved and put themselves at potential risk deserve to be recognized for stopping him. Hats off to each.

Guess they're lucky it was only 30 mins. into the flight. Cannot believe it's already been more 3 years since MH370 disappeared.

He should not have been allowed out in public alone if he had such mental health issues. The fault lies partly on those who released him from psychiatric care, and also the mans family for not monitoring him more and making sure he was attended when in public.

"And for your safety, the life jackets have been replaced by straight jackets..."

The man will appear in court later Thursday on charges relating to making threats, false statements and endangering the safety of an aircraft.

Don't lie on an airplane or you'll be charged? Seems the other 2 charges should be enough.

The airport where told 30 min out from landing. The plan landed. Yet it took 90 min before a response team boarded. The Fed were arguing the the local police to whole turf it was and who,s team was going to board all while all of the passagener looking out onto the tarmac th wondering what was taking them so long to get the bomb or fake bomb off the plan. Keystone Cops. 12 months ago at the Linte Cafe Siege Sydney, the negotiator lost the phone and a hostage could not get him to answer because he was having a feed or toilet brake or simply asleep. 3 people die in the siege about 1/2 hour after that call to the police negotiator which was not answered. When the nutter was distracted 15 hostages escaped and luck that the copper did not shot them while escaping . When the team final went in 3 man went into the entrance and the team behind started throwing stun grenades into the entrance after them, 18 in total. It on Video. One of the hostage got shot by a one of the team when he fell over and a blast of semi auto fire land into the hostage who was in the opposite corner to the nutter .It was a total ball up. It was Keystone cop stuff It was watch on the CCTV video. If I was ever in that situation in Australia I would not wait for the coppers. No way
