“Passenger’s Anti-LGBTQ Rant Forces US Flight Emergency Landing”

A passenger wearing multiple face masks triggered an emergency landing of a US domestic flight after shouting about LGBTQ individuals causing cancer. The incident occurred during a flight from Minneapolis-St. Paul to Newark, New Jersey, forcing the plane to divert. Eyewitnesses reported the passenger claiming the aircraft was going down and making disruptive remarks about the LGBTQ community, leading to the precautionary landing. The disruptive individual, who was later handcuffed and taken off the plane by Chicago police, had alarmed fellow passengers with his erratic behavior, including sudden outbursts and unfounded allegations regarding LGBTQ people. The FBI is now involved in the investigation of the incident, which follows recent air travel disturbances, such as a woman being duct-taped to her seat on another flight after making alarming statements. The flight eventually resumed its journey to Newark after the disruptive passenger was removed from the aircraft, with authorities handling the situation.
