JetBlue Flight 191 diverted to Amarillo, TX (AMA) following erratic behavior of the captain.
En route at FL340 the captain began behaving erratically. The co-pilot locked him out after he briefly left the flight deck, and passengers wrestled the captain to the floor after he started shouting and banging on the cockpit door. The captain screamed "They're going to take us down!" and rambled about al-Qaida as passengers pinned him to the floor.
An off-duty airline captain who was a passenger on the flight entered the cockpit, locked the door and landed safely in Amarillo, Texas.
