An off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot had to be subdued by a flight crew and handcuffed to a seat after attempting to turn the engines off by pulling the emergency handles, officials say. He is now being charged with 83 counts of attempted murder and reckless endangerment, as well as one count of endangering an aircraft, after the flight was diverted to Portland.
