The threat occurred five hours into the international flight, according to a radio DJ whose daughter was on the flight.

Steve Penk tweeted that his daughter, Natalie, told him the man began screaming that ‘everyone was going to die’. According to Mr Penk it took five crew members from BA105 and a ‘large passenger’ to restrain him. 

The man reportedly making the threats was then handcuffed to a seat and covered in a blanket.
