That's terrible. Glad that they were able to stop him from doing any harm and everyone remained safe. How did security allow him to bring a gun on-board? That's unacceptable. Apparently they need stronger security.
it seems it was a tourist spot and a charter plane ...no one expected such an incident ... fortunately, no passenger or crew was injured ...
at least he would be out of circulation for 15 years ...
that man is sick!
