Man crashes pickup into plane

– A man was arrested after he stripped down to his boxer shorts, scaled a fence and rammed a pickup truck into a Southwest airplane parked at Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, on Thursday, police said.

Two crew members suffered minor injuries on the Southwest Airlines flight, bound for Denver, as passengers were boarding when the man drove the truck into the plane’s nose gear.

One of the 18 passengers on board the flight was also injured in the incident.

The unidentified man was taken into custody and there was no suggestion the incident was an act of extremism, Connahan said.

He said airport security personnel had noticed a man “acting in a bizarre manner”. –
