Barry in seat 1C ‘confident I could handle him’

Barry Clark was sitting in seat 1C on flight JQ 610 and tackled the teenager to the ground once he realised he allegedly had a weapon.

“The lovely air hostess was just questioning this bloke trying to come on dressed up as a worker,” Clark told ABC Radio.

“He got agitated, and before we know it, there was a gun, a shotgun appeared.

“All I could do was push [the flight attendant] out of the way, get the gun out of the way, break that, throw it down the stairs, and then put him in a hold and throw him to the ground until the police come.”

“You don’t think, you act. I’ve been taught from a boy to be responsible and look after others. And we’re a sporting family, so I was quietly confident I could handle him … so you just gotta do what you gotta do.”

watch Upper Middle Bogan on Netflix and you’ll understand how this could happen.

Malls, schools, places of worship, and now airplanes. Did not have airplanes on my bingo card of places to get shot by a psychopath. I admire his ingenuity.
