A man allegedly stormed an Alaska Airlines plane after “bad people” told him to fly to Estonia

A crazed man allegedly went on a violent rampage after breaking through airport security in Montana and storming onto an Alaska Airlines plane – all because “bad people” told him to fly to Estonia, police say.

Justin Reed Seymour, 34, was arrested for the wild saga after he allegedly managed to breach a security checkpoint and evade several TSA agents at Missoula International Airport on October 22, KGVO reported.

As Seymour rushed toward the plane, which had just landed and was about to depart, agents could be heard yelling, “Break through” and “Stop him,” authorities said.

According to court documents, he threw an airport employee to the ground as he ran down the jetway.

Seymour then allegedly stormed into the plane and attempted to get into the cockpit – attacking two flight attendants who tried to stop him.

One of the flight crew was pushed into the cockpit door, while the other flight attendant had his hand and fingers crushed while attempting to turn the latch.

When police boarded just moments later, Seymour allegedly said he needed to go to Estonia.

He later told police that “bad people” had told him to take the plane, according to charges in court documents.

“All I had to do was fly the plane, but I didn't…I thought I would be able to do it,” he said, according to police.

When asked if he knew how to fly a jet, he reportedly replied, “It seems easy enough to learn.”

Seymour was charged with robbery and aggravated burglary.

He is being held in the Missoula County Detention Center on $500,000 bail.
