(CBS News) A police officer and an off-duty airline pilot
subdued a JetBlue captain Tuesday aboard a Las Vegas-bound
flight when the captain started pounding on the cockpit door
after the flight's co-pilot asked him to leave and subsequently
locked him out, a federal official told CBS News.
The captain became incoherent during JetBlue Flight 191 from New
York's John F. Kennedy International, prompting the co-pilot to
get him to leave the cockpit, the official said. JetBlue said in
a statement to CBS News that the flight was diverted to
Amarillo, Texas, "for a medical situation involving the captain."
A different federal official told CBS News that the incident
doesn't appear to be related to terrorism, but the FBI is
investigating.
