Flight Crew Restrains 'God' Aboard Delta Flight, Plane Returns to Puerto Rico

SAN JUAN — Delta Air Lines flight attendants restrained a passenger on a flight from Puerto Rico to New York after he shouted “I am God!” and claimed he would save the world, forcing the plane to return to the airport in San Juan, Puerto Rican police and the airline said on Wednesday.

Delta credited passengers with helping subdue the man who “became unruly on board.”

Puerto Rican police then took custody of a man identified as Carlos Ramirez, 30, and the case was taken over by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, police said in a statement.

The suspect “was aggressive and shouted ‘I am God! San Juan is going to disappear tomorrow. I came to save the world and I am going to end terrorism,’ and he also tried to enter the main cabin,” the statement said.

A devout man died and went to heaven. St. Peter opened the gate and showed him in and told him to look around and get acquainted with the place and get to know some of the other souls who were there.

The man looked around and noticed that instead of white robes and angel wings like everyone else had, one person was wearing a full Delta captain uniform complete with hat.

“This is all very nice, and it is just what I expected”’ said the man. “Except I’m curious about that fellow who is dressed up like a Delta pilot. What’s going on with him?”

“Oh, him?”, said St. Peter, “That’s God. He only thinks he’s a Delta captain.”
