This could have been a simple fix from a doc for all we know, instead now the guy is the butt of jokes and being called crazy for something the rest of the population can easily seek help for.

Possibly, but maybe this behavior was the norm? Maybe just unlucky that a security camera caught him in the act this time? Either way, this isn’t normal behavior and he shouldn’t be flying people around if unable to control emotions and associated overly aggressive behavior… hacking a parking lot arm, really? I’m guessing he’s going to be retiring or put on LTD so he can get the help needed.

One thing for sure… I don’t want any of my love ones on any plane he’s in command of.

a lot less dramatic though. Maybe a chainsaw…

Hate to see what he would do with Dr. Dao.

We must leave a better planet to our children. Dewalt electrics emit zero carbon into the atmosphere, if you are going to use a chainsaw it’d have to be a 60v electric.

This is totally a scenario I could see at Denver. They were basically illegally detaining people.

I wish the media accurately covered this event and highlighted the complete incompetence of management at DIA.

The axe probably has a better carbon footprint than the hi-tech battery sawzall.

This is why I’m a fan of Artificial Intelligence.

After seeing the video I’m willing to bet that massive idiot that ran towards another man wielding an axe put more effort on the job (bet he thought he was playing hero) than at any point in his entire career.
