Passenger strips naked on Alaska Airlines flight into Anchorage
An Anchorage-bound traveler ditched his clothes and streaked the length of a Boeing 737 for all to see, including a retired Alaska lawmaker flying home.
Former state Sen. Johnny Ellis said Monday two passengers tackled the naked passenger and locked him in a bathroom during Alaska Airlines flight 107 from Seattle.
"A completely naked man ran from front of plane to back, yelling and waving," the Democrat tweeted.
Alaska Airlines spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said a disruptive male passenger was detained during the flight but the plane landed without incident.

I waited 4 wheelchair & was next 2 last off plane. Police boarded to take naked guy away. We thought drugs not booze. May have been psychotic break since some said guy who chased & tackled was actually his father. Flt attendants were debriefing. Cpt extra nice 2 passengers.
