Passengers Take Dog & Escape Down Emergency Slide Of Moving Delta Plane
Two paranoid passengers deployed the emergency slide of a moving Delta plane and escaped down with their dog after one of them began suffering from PTSD.
Antonio Murdock, 31, and Brianna Greco, 23, of Florida, were arrested for opening the cabin door and activating the slide on Delta Flight 462 from La Guardia Airport.
Apparently, during the flight the couple got up multiple times and changed seats before Murdock told a flight attendant that he couldn’t sit down because it was triggering his PTSD. He then ignored the attendant’s instructions to sit down and opened the cabin door which caused the plane to come to a sudden stop. The distressed couple then fled down the emergency slide with their service dog Rain.

According to NY Daily News Murdock said that his PTSD came from his prison run on robbery charges and occurs when he is in confined spaces.
Ultimately, Murdock was charged with criminal mischief in the second degree, reckless endangerment in the second degree and criminal trespass in the third degree, and Greco was charged with criminal trespass in the third degree.
The traumatized dog, Rain, was given to Animal Care and Control and will be returned to the owner.
