'We're all going down. Say your prayers':
• http://www.dailymail.co.uk, Daily Mail ReporterA JetBlue flight captain went berserk mid-flight today and had to be restrained by passengers as the plane made an emergency landing.
Clayton Frederick Osbon, 49, reportedly screamed 'say your prayers, say your prayers' at horrified passengers after running up and down the aisle shouting 'Iraq, al-Qaeda, terrorism, we're all going down.'
Osbon has been a JetBlue captain for 12 years, but has been around planes for about 30 years.
Passengers told local media that about three hours into the flight the captain had behaved oddly after going to the toilet, randomly talking with passengers on his way back to the cockpit.
When he went back to the cockpit and realized he had been locked out, a passenger said Osbon, a married father of one from Savannah, Georgia, began screaming 'let me in' and acting erratically.
