Horror on a flight to Alaska: How the incident happened
According to the publication, the 18-year-old asked the pilot to fly the plane earlier during the flight.
When the pilot refused, the young man got up from his seat and entered the front of the plane, which has no partition between the cockpit and the passenger seats, and grabbed the rudder.
The plane was in the process of landing when the incident occurred, about 5 miles from the airport and landed safely in Aniak where the 18-year-old was arrested.
