In world news: A veteran pilot with JetBlue was tackled and controlled by the passengers, after he started behaving erratically, screaming rants about al Qaeda, and a possible bomb onboard in a flight bound for Las Vegas. Clayton Osbon was locked outside the cockpit after four passengers got control over him, as he seemed to have a panic attack.

The airline has said the captain of JetBlue Airways Flight 191 from New York''s John F. Kennedy International Airport had a 'medical situation', and the co-pilot diverted the plane to land in Amarillo, Texas.

Passengers reveal the captain squalled out of the cockpit, and started acting incoherently. "They're going to take us down. They're taking us down. They're going to take us down. Say the Lord's prayer. Say the Lord's prayer," the captain screamed.
