A passenger who helped restrain a threatening man on a weekend flight from Los Angeles to Boston said the entire chaotic episode was over within seconds thanks to teamwork.Simik Ghookasian said in a telephone interview that he was seated several rows behind the man, who had quietly tried to open an airliner’s emergency door before trying to stab a flight attendant with a broken metal spoon, according to prosecutors.“I heard the guy getting louder and louder and I thought it was just an argument, but he started yelling and screaming and threatening people, threatening to kill them,” Ghookasian said, a Los Angeles government contractor flying to Boston on United Flight 2609 on Sunday for work.
