Ok, get realistic here..it was an EAGLE flight. Didn't say which one, so the equipment was a SF340, ATR42/72, EMB135/140/145...max pax 64 depending on which ship, max fuel enough to burn down a barn maybe.
Terrorist material, I think not. Crazy person material, possible. Unwise for the crewmember to come out of the cockpit, perhaps but remember with all that's going on, if anyone saw anything about to happen, I'm sure some of the pax onboard would have taken action-I would!
