“An unhinged Delta passenger and his girlfriend jumped out of an airplane door just before it took off from LaGuardia Airport,” the New York Daily News reported on Monday, December 21, 2020.
“Antonio Murdock, 31, told Port Authority cops the confined plane space set off his post-traumatic stress disorder stemming from a jail stint on robbery charges,” the Daily News said.
So he “got up,” forced open a cabin door, and out he went. An inflatable chute unfurled, his stunned girlfried grabbed her dog, and jumped out after him. At least she wasn’t flying with a horse.
