Unsettling Flight from Savannah to Miami: Passenger Causes Chaos Mid-Air
Miami, FL – Passengers aboard a flight from Savannah, Georgia, to Miami were left shaken after a terrifying ordeal involving an unruly traveler who exhibited disturbing behavior shortly after takeoff.
Mid-Air Chaos Unfolds
The incident occurred on a Monday night flight when 31-year-old Dange Augustine began behaving erratically just moments after the plane lifted off. Witnesses reported that he started violently shaking, stomping his feet, and screaming about devils and possession.
At first, flight attendants and passengers suspected Augustine was experiencing a seizure, but his actions quickly escalated, causing widespread panic.
Assault on Flight Crew and Passengers
According to a criminal complaint, when a flight attendant attempted to check on Augustine, he suddenly turned, lifted his legs, and kicked the crew member in the chest.
Fearing further disruptions, the pilot made the decision to turn the aircraft back to Savannah. However, Augustine continued his erratic behavior, kicking the back of another passenger’s seat so violently that it broke.
“He destroyed this other man’s seat—kicked it, punched it, and completely buckled it over,” said fellow passenger Rob Rosenberg, who helped subdue the suspect.
Emergency Landing and Takedown
Upon landing in Savannah, the situation took another dramatic turn. Witnesses say Augustine charged toward the front doors of the aircraft, swinging wildly. Several passengers, including Rosenberg, worked together to restrain him.
During the struggle, Augustine swallowed rosary beads and grabbed onto his sister’s hair and clothing, refusing to let go even after being tased multiple times by authorities. In a desperate measure, officers had to cut his sister’s hair to free her from his grip.
Shocking Revelations and Arrest
According to police reports, Augustine had told his sister they needed to flee to Haiti to escape spiritual and religious attacks. He also claimed that Satan’s disciples had followed them onto the plane.
Authorities arrested Augustine, and he now faces multiple charges related to the incident. The ordeal left passengers deeply unsettled, with many describing it as one of the most disturbing experiences of their lives.
Final Thoughts
Air travel can be stressful, but incidents like this highlight the importance of airline safety protocols and trained personnel who handle unpredictable situations.
