Thomas Lewis Hughes has been charged with endangering the safety on an aircraft. He tried to open an exit door in the middle of the flight. The 56 year old has been accused of acting recklessly and without neglect on the flight between Kenya and London Gatwick airport, westsussex, and last may.
Mr Hughes, of Anglesey is still on bail by magistrates in Crawley. The incident happened on a Monarch Airplane from Mombasa. He has to appear before Crawley magistrates on June 30 for committal proceedings.
Police are investigating the reason in which Mr Hughes wanted to commit such an action while the plane was full of people.
In my opinion Mr Hughes is completely out of his mind. He must have some kind of mental disease because no one in their right mind would do such a thing. He is not only endangering his own life but lives of innocent people. I bet there were also children aboard who are only now starting to live and someone with personal problems or what so ever wants to take that away from them. I ask myself how did this happen? Didn’t anyone notice anything strange about his behaviour? I think the best was to tackle the situation not to leave him get on a plane ever again. If he wants to travel he has to just do it by train.
