The Southwest Airlines Flight 947, from Oakland to St. Louis was forced to abandon its flight plan, when Darius Chappill, 21, of Jefferson City, exposed himself to the female passenger sitting next to him. The incident occurred just thirty minutes into the flight.
Chappill punched her in the face when she screamed. Chapill then proceeded to strip his clothes off. It took several crew members and other passengers to subdue him.
A squad of 10 Alameda County Deputies boarded the plane, arrested and handcuffed the still undressed, but surprisingly docile Chappill, when the plane made an emergency landing in Oakland.
Both Chappill and the female passenger were treated at Highland Hospital, Oakland, for minor injuries.
Chapill has a history of arrests in Missouri. He was last arrested in March for distributing marijuana. He had also been arrested for driving without a license and under the influence of alcohohl. “Chappill had an outstanding arrest warrant on drug-related charges in Jefferson city,” said Alameda County sheriff, Sgt. J.D. Nelson.
“It was easy to laugh about it afterwards,” passenger David Zabetakis said. “But during it, you don’t realize how captive you are at 29,000 feet in a small airplane with such a big guy.”
This was not the first incident where a naked man disrupted a commercial flight.
On July 2nd 50 year old Keith Wright disrobed on Flight 705, travelling between Charlotte and Los Angeles. The plane made an emergency landing in Albuquerque.
“Two off-duty law officers, who were on the flight, helped the flight attendants subdue and handcuff Wright,” airport spokesman Dan Jiron said.
Wright was led from the plane, wrapped only in an airline blanket.
As the plane recommenced its flight, the usual announcement to fasten your seat belt, also included a reminder to everybody “To please keep your clothing on”.
Wright will be charged with interfering with flight-crew members and attendants.
Nudity in New York has also reached new dimensions, as Subway travelers are entertained by women pole-dancing. Some do it as as the result of a $10,000 Internet dare. Another woman took thirty seconds to take her clothes off in the subway, then passed a KFC bucket around for donations.
Photographer of the ‘Decent Exposures’, at Chair and the Maiden Gallery, takes photos of nudes posing in popular areas such as Times Square and the underground of New York City. “The trick is to get a few shots before the police get you,” says photographer, Zach Hyman.
In other areas, pole-dancers are being towed around the streets, dancing on a neon-lit trailer, pulled behind a motor bike. Their boast is, no nudity, no accidents, no arrests, just a lot of fun.
