Fortunately, flight crew and 2 other passengers swiftly subdued the man after his outburst and no one was injured. It's unclear what led to the threat -- but you can see the fear on other passengers' faces as the man yelled.
The incident played out about 20 minutes into the flight, and the plane was forced to turn around for an emergency landing back at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Once back on the ground, Port of Seattle Police took the man into custody and he was booked into King County Jail for harassment.
The guy ruined a lot of people's travel plans ... the flight was canceled and everyone was booked on the next available trip to Chicago.
