Bronx Teacher Suspended For Assigning Story On Masturbation
L.I. Pet Abuse Suspect Ran "Animal Concentration Camp"
An unidentified man from the boogie down Bronx just streaked half of America! The 50-year-old became naked as a jaybird for no apparent reason during a US Airways flight last night. One passenger says the 50-year-old appeared to fall asleep, but then started taking his clothes off. (Could a bad Ambien reaction be involved?) He refused to cooperate with flight attendants and threw off a blanket that was placed over him. Is it some kind of crime to fly au naturale? Probably, right? An off-duty police officer on board helped restrain the man, and the flight, which originated in Charlotte and was bound for LA, made a pit stop in Albuquerque to eject the mile-high streaker. WABC 7 says he may be transported "to an FBI facility. He will likely be taken to a local detention center in the meantime." Meanwhile, everyone who landed in California will be enjoying life naked in a hot tub.

Why did he need to be restrained? It wasn't like you wouldn't be able to tell if he was concealing a weapon or not once he was naked...
Uh... because he was naked, refused to cooperate, and threw off the blanket they tried to cover him up with. So he was detained, which normally results in some sort of restraint.
People aren't restrained because they might have a concealed weapon; they're searched to determine that they don't, then are restrained because they're in custody and can no longer leave. Usually handcuffs are good enough to do that, in this case they clearly weren't.
Oh boy. How embarrassing...I would put my bet on Ambien!
Maybe it was too hot?
Eeeeewwwwwwwww, he had a seat-mate!
Awkward!
Could it possibly be this guy known as "NakedGuy"???? Links to more pictures on the photo. It's hard to tell for sure, but it might be!!!
NakedGuy looks like he might be too young. This guy seems more saggy.
I guess that's one way to get a row to yourself.
He had to air out his tools, you know?
Apparently, the flight crew was dealing with an unrelated medical emergency at the same time in a different part of the plane. Is it my imagination or is it that flight crews are really earning their pay these days. Don't remember this much action/drama when I was younger.
This guy decided that nuts on the plane should be free.
Obama?
Until I saw the photo I just assumed this was Tracey Jordan.
filming for the next Sacha Baron Cohen movie?
If you didn't add the flat, pithy remarks throughout the article it would have been hilarious.
Recommendation: let the story speak for itslf. It's already ridiculous; it doesn't need your commentary.

Apparently you somehow haven't noticed: The whole purpose of this site is commentary on news stories.
Just for being naked? Sounds like some people need to chill out. He might need help, or just for everyone to see his dick, but restrained and detained in an FBI facility sounds like a bit of an over-reaction.
"The passenger, identified as 50-year-old Keith Wright of New York, was arrested when the plane landed at Albuquerque International Sunport Airport in New Mexico."
Hmmmm...Is it possibly this Keith Wright of New York?

hrm, I wonder if his bits and pieces stuck to the seat.
