Choppy videos posted to YouTube captured the midair drama and terror as a group of burly New Yorkers restrained the deranged pilot of jetBlue Flight 191 Tuesday.
"I'm so distraught!" Capt. Clayton Osbon can be heard yelling on one clip.
Osbon had a meltdown on the morning flight from New York to Las Vegas, which happened to be full of men heading to a weeklong security conference in Las Vegas.
HEAR THE AUDIO: TOWER COMMUNICATIONS
Passenger videos show several large men bustling in the aisle as the largely invisble pilot screams.
Another video shows a calmer moment as the plane prepares to make an emergency landing at Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport in Texas.
The pilot is quiet and the men have him restrained on the floor of the first-class area. The First Officer on the intercom is asking passengers to "please remain seated with your seatbelt fastened."
In another video, Osbon is being taken down the plane stairs, strapped to a dolly Hannibal Lecter-style.
