Passengers on Delta Airlines flight from LAX to Atlanta Airport were in for a shock when Pilot announced on the PA system that all able-bodied passenger head to the front of the plane.
The reason Pilot asked for help was that an off duty attendant was trying to open the emergency exit mid-air. The cabin crew tried to stop the man but failed. Considering the situation, Pilot requested male passengers to assist the cabin crew in subduing the man.
After the trouble-maker was subdued, the flight was diverted to Oklahoma city.
