Kameron C. Stone, 29, of Fairfax, Virginia, United States boarded a flight departing from Dulles International Airport in Dulles, Virginia bound for Pensacola International Airport in Pensacola, Florida, USA on April 16, 2021. While intoxicated during the flight, he refused to wear a seatbelt or remain seated, pretended to shoot at passengers and reached for the cockpit door.
Stone approached the front of the aircraft as the flight started its final descent and pushed a female flight attendant who tried to prevent him from opening the cabin and cockpit doors. He grabbed her shoulders and shoved her into the galley wall then breached the main cabin door to the aircraft’s external portion.
The pilots had to declare an emergency with the Federal Aviation Administration and three passengers including an off-duty Deputy U.S. Marshal subdued Stone until landing. During the struggle, three Pinnacle Vodka mini-bottles tumbled out of Stone’s pocket.
