New Jersey native 26-year-old Eric Nicholas Gapco caused a major crisis on an American Airlines flight from Seattle to Dallas with his outrageous behavior. Gapco consumed 10 marijuana-infused edibles before the flight. The effects started to show after the plane took off. He first took off his clothes, then started vaping. He then attempted to engage in sexual intercourse with a flight attendant. Gapco completely lost control and tried to open the plane's exterior doors multiple times and attacked a flight attendant. In the recorded footage, he can be seen shouting "I am smart!" while being topless. The crew tried to calm him down but were unsuccessful. Eventually, they had to restrain his hands and feet. The captain made an emergency landing at Salt Lake City Airport in Utah due to safety concerns. Gapco's madness continued on the ground as well. He broke a glass door at the airport and spat on a police officer. After being arrested, he admitted to consuming the marijuana-infused edibles but claimed he didn't expect the effects to be so strong. This incident is currently being investigated by the FBI and local police. This bizarre case highlights the dangerous consequences of drug use during flights.
