Passenger arrested after trying to choke flight attendant and saying plane ‘is going down’ on California flight, DOJ says​

The incident allegedly took place on a Frontier Airlines flight.

CNN —
A California man is facing federal charges after he allegedly tried to choke a flight attendant and “said he was going to kill everybody” while on board a Frontier Airlines flight to San Francisco that had to be diverted on Monday, authorities said.
Charles Angel Salva, a 30-year-old from Fremont, made an initial court appearance Wednesday and was charged with interference with flight crew members and attendants, according to a news release from the US Attorney’s Office, Central District of California.
The airplane was climbing shortly after takeoff from Orange County, California, when flight attendants noticed oxygen masks in one of the plane’s rows were out of the overhead compartment. “Flight attendants investigated and discovered that Salva had his hand in the overhead compartment,” the US Attorney’s Office said.
A passenger told law enforcement that it appeared Salva was “claustrophobic” and “seemed like he wanted to get off the plane,” the US Attorney’s Office said, adding that the man got his hand stuck in the overhead compartment after he pulled the oxygen mask from there.

An Albuquerque, New Mexico flight was forced to return shortly after takeoff due to a disturbance with a disruptive passenger Tuesday afternoon, according to an American Airlines spokesperson. Video taken by passenger Zach Etkind on the plane shows a scuffle on the aisle floor while several men are subduing a person. Etkind told CNN multiple male passengers pulled him to the ground and flight attendants restrained him with duct-tape and flexi cuffs.

During the incident, Salva yelled obscenities at flight attendants and allegedly said, “We are all going to hell,” and “This airplane is going down,” the release said.
“Passengers helped restrain Salva, who broke out of flex cuffs and had to be restrained by a seatbelt,” the release said. “During the incident, Salva kicked one flight attendant approximately six times in the leg, causing apparent bruising and swelling, which required medical attention.”
The flight attendant whom he allegedly attempted to choke was also left with small marks to the neck, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
The flight attendants did not feel safe trying to put Salva back in his seat, and the flight was diverted to Ontario International Airport in California, the release said.
The FAA confirmed that the flight landed safely in Ontario International Airport around 6 p.m. after the crew reported a passenger disturbance and told CNN it will investigate the incident.
CNN has reached out to Salva’s attorney for comment and to Frontier Airlines for further information.
If convicted of the interference with flight crew charge, Salva would face a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison, according to the US Attorney’s Office.
Salva is currently being held in the custody of the US Marshals Service, according to court records. His preliminary hearing is set for September 26.

The FBI and the Ontario Police Department are investigating the incident.
In 2021, the US Federal Aviation Administration announced that they would be introducing a zero-tolerance policy for fliers behaving badly on planes.
That year, passengers were issued fines for a range of incidents on planes across the United States, including one passenger who attempted to enter the plane’s cockpit and had to be restrained and another who punched a flight attendant in the face, sending them to the hospital. The most serious cases of in-flight mischief are also reported to the Department of Justice.
The single highest individual penalty, $40,823, was issued to a traveler who brought their own alcohol on board, was intoxicated, attempted to smoke marijuana in the lavatory, and sexually assaulted a flight attendant – all in a single flight.

Soldiers caught having sex in Apache gunship​


Two soldiers were caught having sex in the cockpit of an Apache gunship.


The pair, who were believed to be under the influence of alcohol, were discovered in the act by their colleagues, The Sun reported.

They were allegedly engaged in intercourse in the back of a two-seater AH-64 gunship.

A ground crew is understood to have approached the aircraft to fit rain covers after a night-time servicing, but then reportedly heard unusual noises and saw that the rotors were swaying up and down.

An air safety report, which was seen by the newspaper after it became available owing to a technical glitch, said: “It became apparent that the rear cockpit was occupied by two people engaged in sexual intercourse. Both were naked from the waist down, the male in uniform, the female in civilian attire. They were ordered to exit the cockpit and get dressed.

“Both parties were serving soldiers. Both showed symptoms of intoxication.”

The gunship is said to have belonged to the Army Air Corps’ 653 Squadron but the soldiers were from a separate unit, thought to be Royal Artillery.

The report to the Military Aviation Authority added: “They were detained until the chain of command of 653 Squadron and their parent unit arrived.”

An Army source claimed the incident took place at the Otterburn range in Northumberland in 2016, adding that ground crews have been instructed to secure helicopters properly in the future.

In January a new Apache AH-64E attack helicopter declared “ready for front line duty” by the Army in October, was knocked on its side by strong winds at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, Hampshire.

It is understood no one was injured during the incident, and that all other aircraft remained undamaged.

Apaches are considered robust enough to operate from the decks of ships, and are typically able to withstand rough weather.

The Ministry of Defence was contacted for comment.

Chinatown resident says neighbour pounds on wall because she cooks at home​

One Chinatown resident is at her wits' end after enduring years of noise disturbances from her next-door neighbour who appears to be upset because she cooks at home.

The 70-year-old retiree surnamed Li, who lives at Block 536 Upper Cross Street, told Shin Min Daily News that her neighbour started knocking on the wall in 2019, claiming that Li's cooking caused her flat to become "extremely hot".

While woman initially pounded on the wall during mealtimes, Li said she now does it more often and at odd timings.

"She is unhappy when I pray at home and when I watch TV. Sometimes I hear the harsh knocks at 1am or 5am, and the noise makes my heart pound in fright," Li added.

When Li confronted her neighbour over the noises on Nov 12, the latter came out of her house holding a laundry pole.

"Since last year, I've called the police numerous times, complained to the authorities and approached my MP for help.

"But the problem has gotten worse. She even told me: 'If you cook, I will continue to knock'," said Li.

Li added that they were supposed to attend mediation last November, but her neighbour did not show up.

Another resident living on the same floor, surnamed Lu, said she is also affected by the woman's noise disturbance.

"She often slams the door shut in the middle of the night. The loud bang startles me awake," said the 65-year-old retiree.

Lu claimed that the neighbour would also deliberately stomp her feet in front of her door and say it's 'dirty'.

She said the noise made her blood pressure rise, and she has also lodged complaints against the neighbour, but the situation has not improved.

The neighbour in question did not answer the door when Shin Min visited her flat on two separate occasions.

Who is Asma Assad, the London-born wife of Syria's deposed dictator?​

The British-Syrian wife of Bashar al-Assad is believed to have joined her husband and fled to Moscow.​

Bashar al-Assad has been overthrown after 13 years of brutal civil conflict in Syria, bringing to an end more than 50 years of Assad family rule.

The exact whereabouts of the deposed dictator's wife – London-born Asma al-Assad – is currently unknown. The only hint we have is from Russia's ambassador to international organisations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, who said on his Telegram channel that Moscow has granted asylum to the Assad family.

Asma has been repeatedly accused of attempting to sanitise the regime's violence and has found herself caught up in multiple controversies, both inside and outside of the violence in Syria.

This led to calls from the Liberal Democrats in 2017 for her to be stripped of her British citizenship, although prime minister Keir Starmer said on Monday that it was too early in a fast-moving situation to revisit that issue.

Asma, known as Emma​

Asma was born in the UK and raised in Acton, west London. She is the daughter of Sahar Akhras, a retired diplomat who served as first secretary at the Syrian Embassy in London, and Fawaz Akhras, a cardiologist.

While her parents were considered to be culturally conservative, they were eager for Asma to integrate and she was known as Emma at her local Church of England primary school.

Many recall her having very little interest in the Middle East growing up. "She was very English and seemed to want to have nothing to do with Syria," a family friend told the Economist in 2021.

After graduating from King's College London with a first-class honours degree in computer science, she joined banking firm JP Morgan.

Her mother was said to be very keen that she establish a relationship with Bashar, who was then second in line to succeed his father, Hafez. The pair met a few times in the 1990s when Bashar was studying to be an ophthalmologist in London.

Shortly after Bashar was appointed president in a sham election in 2000 following Hafez's death, Asma disappeared for three weeks without notice. When she returned to work, she said she had met a dashing Syrian, resigned and gave up her place at Harvard Business School.

When pressed on whether she was making the right decision, she reportedly responded: "Who would choose Harvard over love?"

'A rose in the desert'​

Asma spent her early years of marriage seemingly trying to soften the family's image, according to the Economist.

This PR drive continued despite the outbreak of pro-democracy protests in January 2011 – which sparked a brutal crackdown by the Assad regime on demonstrators – and came to a head when US PR company Brown Lloyd James arranged a cover story in Vogue in March that year.

A cover story titled "A rose in the desert” described her determination to make Syria into a "brand". The glowing article also praised the Assads as "wildly democratic", dubbing Syria "the safest country in the Middle East".

The piece sparked widespread condemnation, with the edition carrying the story eventually removed from circulation and deleted from Vogue's website.

The 'Imelda Marcos' of Syria​

As the situation in Syria deteriorated, Asma released a rare public statement in 2012, telling the Times newspaper of her "very busy agenda" that was "focused on supporting the various charities she has long been involved".

It went on to state that she was "equally involved in bridging gaps and encouraging dialogue".

However, a cache of 3,000 emails released by activists in Syria in March 2012 detailed a very different picture. According to The Guardian, the secret emails revealed that Asma continued to shop online for luxury goods from Chelsea boutiques and jewellery shops in Paris even after the uprising was in full swing. At this point, at least 8,000 people had died in the conflict.

Her apparent voracious shopping habit reportedly led Syrian diplomats to dub her Imelda Marcos, after dictator Ferdinand Marcos's wife, who was addicted to shoes.


Later that month, EU foreign ministers imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on Asma.

In April 2012, the wives of the German and UK ambassadors to the UK (Sheila Lyall Grant and Huberta von Voss Wittig) appealed to the dictator's wife to take action, urging her that her "public voice was needed".

At the point of the video's release, Asma stood beside her husband throughout a 13-month conflict, with 9,000 people declared dead.

By then, it was clear that any attempts to burnish the family reputation in the West had fallen flat.

Rejected offer of refuge​

In 2016, Asma told the press she had rejected a deal to offer her safe passage out of Syria in order to stay by her husband's side.

Speaking to Russian state TV channel Rossiya 24, she accused Western media organisations of "choosing to solely focus on the plight of refugees in rebel-held areas".

"I've been here since the beginning and I never thought of being anywhere else at all. Yes, I was offered the opportunity to leave Syria or rather to run from Syria. These offers included guarantees of safety and protection for my children and even financial security," she said.

"It doesn't take a genius to know what these people were really after. It was a deliberate attempt to shatter people's confidence in their president."

At that point, as many as 400,000 people were said to have died in the country's violence.

Cancer diagnosis​

In May this year, the Syrian regime announced in a statement that Asma had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive form of bone marrow and blood cancer.

While some questioned whether she would be able to receive treatment in Syria, officials said she would "adhere to a specialised treatment protocol that includes stringent infection prevention measures" and "will temporarily withdraw from all direct engagements".

It was the second time the Syrian first lady was diagnosed with cancer. In 2019, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fully recovered after receiving chemotherapy for a malignant tumour a year later.

'Not welcome in the UK'​

Asma has been the subject of three referrals to the Met Police’s war crimes team – in July 2020, January 2021 and December 2021 – which led to the Met opening a preliminary investigation into allegations she had incited and encouraged terrorist acts during the war.

If she had been charged, the Met could have sought her extradition or sought to have her stripped of her British citizenship. The Met has confirmed to Yahoo News on Tuesday there were "insufficient grounds to launch an investigation".

Nonetheless, the government has made it clear she is "not welcome" in the UK.

Foreign secretary David Lammy said on Monday: “I’ve seen mentioned in the last few days, Asma Assad potentially someone with UK citizenship that might attempt to come into our country, and I want it confirmed that she’s a sanctioned individual and is not welcome here in the UK.”

Starmer said in the wake of the Assag regime's overthrow that it was too early to say whether the government would strip Asma of her British citizenship.

"We are far too early in any decisions about anything," Starmer said. “At the moment we are hours, days into a fast-moving situation and that’s why it’s very important for us to continue to talk to our allies, including here in discussions I’ve been having today, to make sure that what happens next is peaceful.

“There’s a lot of moving parts in that, a lot of risks, I absolutely accept, and challenges, but they are going to be best met if we work with our allies towards that peaceful resolution and the rejection, the utter rejection, of terrorism and violence.”
