Bearded Rad Trad? "I'm Balthazar. I Will Kill Every Man On This Plane!"


'So where's Homeland Security with a gun? Because I am waiting for them to point the gun at me so I can show everybody that I will die when I take every bullet in that clip - and I will kill every man on this plane,' the suspect threatens. 'So where are they? Where's Homeland Security? Pull the gun! Pull the gun! You're not going to try and stop me? 'Where are they diverting us? Because wherever they do, there's going to be a bloodbath everywhere. You can run away if you want. I won't kill you. I'm Balthazar. Or put up your hands, because I'm Balthazar… since I'm taking over this plane.' Balthazar was one of the three wise men in the Bible who visited the infant Jesus. Passengers watching him could be heard exclaiming 'oh God' as they witnessed Torres' antics which saw him dart into the aisle and announce that he was heading for the cockpit. As he made his way down the aisle he approached two flight attendants standing in his way and used the spoon to make stabbing motions. He was restrained by other passengers who rush forward from the rear of the plane along with other flight attendants. A photo taken by another person on board shows six people in the galley of the plane attempting to restrain Torres as the aircraft descended. 'Torres told investigators he went into the bathroom on the plane and broke a spoon in half to make a weapon. When he came out of the bathroom Torres went into the galley, disarmed the door, and tried to open it unsuccessfully … Torres admitted to knowing that if he opened the door many people would die,' according to a criminal complaint as seen by WCVB.
