American Airlines flight to Miami is forced to turn around as Manic passengers, convinced they were sure the demon spirit had chased him on the plane, swallowing up the Rosary Beads and kicking the flight attendant violently across the aisle of the plane.
Shortly after the flight left Savannah, Georgia, Monday night, 31-year-old Delangi Augustine began “screams” with what the crew thought was the first seizure.
The incident took a strange turn when Augustine began to drop the Rosary Beads and tried to drive away what he claimed to be “Satan's pupil.” New York Times.
As the flight attendant approached the insane passenger, he kicked one hard in his chest, jumping over the aisle of the plane and crashing into a window, the affidavit said.
Augustin's actions “seemed intentional, although difficult to explain,” wrote Savannah Solomon, a special FBI agent, in an affidavit.
After learning of the interference, the pilot turned around the plane and landed safely in the Savannah, but Augustine continued to cause a stir as the crew tried to equip other passengers.
He attacked the aircraft and threw several wild punches at the flight attendant before the passengers fought on the floor for his sister, who was traveling with him and his sister.
After the duo was taken into custody, Augustine's sister told authorities that they would travel to Haiti to “run away from religious attacks of a spiritual nature.”
During the flight, Augustine told her sister, “I pray that Satan's disciples will chase them on the plane and Legion will close her eyes and pray, as Augustines did not want them to reach Haiti.”
His sister told authorities that she swallowed the rosary beads.
According to the affidavit, only about eight passengers were on the plane at the time of the explosion.
“We appreciate the professionalism of our entire crew and the understanding of our passengers,” American Airlines said in a statement.
Augustine, who was hospitalized after swallowing Rosary Beads, was booked in prison on several charges, including misdemeanor battery and criminal property damage.
