Flight lands early after masked passenger raves about LGBTQ+ people giving him cancer

"A man's angry rants about gay people forced a plane from Minneapolis to New Jersey to land early, after the homophobic passenger shouted to passengers that the plane was going down. An Oct. 3 Sun Country Airlines flight left the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport around 7:13 a.m. but went no further than Chicago O'Hare thanks to an unruly passenger acting erratically throughout the flight, according to The Minnesota Star-Tribune."

"Other passengers said the man, who wore more than 15 face masks, complained of gay people giving him cancer. Seth Evans, a passenger, told the newspaper that the passenger said members of the LGBTQ+ community "gang chased," "cooked," and "radiated" him."

""The flight landed without incident, and the passenger in question was turned over to law enforcement and removed from the aircraft," a media statement from Sun Country Airlines said. "We appreciate our passengers' patience during the interruption to their travels, and the flight is continuing on to Newark this morning.""

"The New York Post noted the passenger also announced at one point that "Trump was here." President Donald Trump was not on the plane."

The passenger, who wore more than 15 face masks, made homophobic rants and claimed gay people gave him cancer. A fellow passenger reported the man saying members of the LGBTQ+ community "gang chased," "cooked," and "radiated" him. The passenger also shouted the plane was going down and at one point said "Trump was here," though the former president was not aboard. The individual was handcuffed, turned over to law enforcement, and removed before the flight continued to Newark.
