Moment pilot arrested as police storm plane full of shocked passengers
Those onboard were left stunned after federal agents headed into the plane's cockpit just moments after it landed. This is the moment when police arrested a pilot over alleged child abuse images after storming a plane full of passengers. Those onboard were left stunned after federal agents headed into the Delta plane's cockpit just moments after it landed in San Francisco, California. As reported by the Mirror, the pilot was then arrested over alleged possession of child sex abuse images and later charged by several agencies, including Homeland Security and the Contra Cosa Sheriff's Office. The arrest took place on Delta Flight 2809 shortly after 9.30pm local time on Saturday. Earlier that day the flight left Minneapolis and had its landing delayed due to heavy fog around the airport. Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said the pilot was arrested on charges over child sex abuse materials. First class passenger Sarah Christianson told The San Francisco Chronicle: "A group of people with badges, guns, and different agency vests/markings were pushing their way up through the aisle to the cockpit." Speaking to the outlet, she said that officers"stormed the cockpit, cuffed the co-pilot, arrested him, walked him down the aisle, and ushered him off the plane through the cabin doors located between first and coach." Ms Christianson said passengers were shocked and said the incident was "unnerving." Christianson said in another interview that she was reduced to tears following the ordeal. She added: "It was scary. It was traumatic to watch. As soon as my husband picked me up from baggage claim, I jumped in the car and cried. Because who knows what's happening to that poor person? Why that happened? What did we just see?" Officers remained on the plane to collect the pilots belongings as he was led away. He has not been identified. The Mirror has contacted the Contra Cosa Sheriff's Office for comment. A video showing the moment of the arrest was uploaded to X/Twitter and has been viewed hundreds of millions of times. A JetBlue pilot was arrested on board the plane earlier this year in a separate incident. Jeremy Gudorf, 33, had been due to fly the plane when a routine check of people onboard led to his detention. The warrant for his arrest came from North Carolina and Massachusetts State Police responded to a request to detain Gudorf from US Customs and Border Protection. US State Police have confirmed the arrest took place in February earlier this year.

Delta pilot arrested by federal agents who stormed the cockpit moments after landing in San Francisco
Passengers were left shocked as federal agents stormed the cockpit of Delta flight just moments after the plane landed in San Francisco. One of the plane's pilots was arrested on child porn charges by officers from multiple agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office. The incident occurred on board Delta Flight 2809 around 9:35 p.m. local time on Saturday. The flight departed from Minneapolis earlier in the day. The landing was delayed due to heavy fog in the Bay Area. Fox News national correspondent Bill Melugin reported that the pilot was arrested on charges related to child sexual abuse materials. 'A group of people with badges, guns, and different agency vests/markings were pushing their way up through the aisle to the cockpit,' first class passenger Sarah Christianson told The San Francisco Chronicle. She also described the officers as having 'stormed the cockpit, cuffed the co-pilot, arrested him, walked him down the aisle, and ushered him off the plane through the cabin doors located between first and coach.' Christianson told the newspaper that the other pilot told the passengers that he was just as confused as everybody else about what was going on. She went on to describe the incident as 'shocking and unnerving.' Christianson said that she counted around ten officers involved in the arrest. In a separate interview, Christianson said that she was reduced to tears following the ordeal. 'It was scary. It was traumatic to watch.
