A U.S. Airways flight out of Lynchburg turned into U.S. Scareways last Sunday when a TSA agent overheard a man making a phone call telling someone that the “Charlotte flight woudn’t make it – that it would fall out of the sky”.
When a TSA agent approched the man, he broke his phone in half, preventing anyone from retrieving the last dialed number.
Upon questioning, he told police officers that he was God, but that he could not demonstrate any of his powers “because his back was hurting”.
Needless to say, this crackpot was taken into custody for a mental health checkup.
The plane in question was ordered back to the gate where a bomb dog checked it out. After a three hour delay, the flight was cleared for takeoff.
