“Unruly” passenger escorted off flight after trying to enter cockpit
An American Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing after an “unruly passenger” attempted to enter the cockpit area and open a flight door, among other things.
Juan Remberto Rivas, 50, caused several disturbances on a Washington-bound flight causing the flight to be diverted mid-journey to Kansas City where it was met by law enforcement officials, according to news reports.
Footage shared on Twitter by another passenger, captured Mr Rivas being subdued by law enforcement officials. The video was taken after the flight was diverted to Kansas, where Mr Rivas was escorted off.
According to an eyewitness, a flight attendant had to use a coffee pot to subdue the passenger after he began acting erratically.
Mr Rivas, who is currently in police custody, “grabbed a small champagne bottle and attempted to break the bottle on the counter. He began kicking and shoving the service cart into one of the flight attendants,” according to a US Justice Department news release.
The release said he tried also to pull open the plane’s exit door. In response, “a flight attendant grabbed a coffee pot and hit (the man) twice in the head with it,” the release said.
Mr Rivas has reportedly been charged with one count of assaulting and intimidating a flight attendant. -ndtv.com
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I AM in love with Adwoa, a 25-year-old banker. She has a 10-month old daughter and I am not perturbed about that. She said the father of the child broke up with her even before the child was born. I loved her even before I knew she had a child, and when she told me she had a baby, it didn’t change anything. Love was still love, and care still flowed between us.
I spent some nights with her, and the behaviour of her baby makes me feel like there’s another man she knows. She cries when I pick her up.
The same thing happens when she wakes up and sees me in bed with her mother. I’m not comfortable with the way that baby looks at me. It’s as though there’s someone else looking at me through her eyes. She doesn’t blink an eye. She looks at me as if I’m not the one she’s expecting to see. Is this normal?
Papa, Swedru.
Dear Papa,
IT’S understandable you’re feeling a bit uneasy about the baby’s behaviour. Given the situation, it’s likely the baby is just picking up on your energy or adjusting to a new face.
Ten-month-old can be particular about strangers. Try engaging with her more during calm moments, like playtime or when she is fed. Build a bond through activities she enjoys and have an open chat with your girlfriend about how you’re feeling; she might notice things you’ve missed. The intense staring could be curiosity; babies are like that sometimes. Take it easy, and don’t overthink it.

A man who bed-wets went to see a psychiatrist…
Psychiatrist: Does a dream usually precede your bed-wetting?
Man: Yes.
Psychiatrist: Tell me how it happens.
Man: A little demon appears to me in my sleep and says, “Hey… Let us pee.” Then, I wake up to see the bed wet with my urine.
Psychiatrist: This is what you must do. If the demon comes tonight and tells you “let us pee”, just reply him that you have already peed.
The man left and returned the following day with tears streaming down his face.
Psychiatrist: Why are you weeping? Didn’t my therapy work?
Man: You have worsened my case!
Psychiatrist: What? How?
Man: When the demon came, I told him I’d already peed. Then he said, “OK, let us sh*t.”
