An air tragedy was averted on an American Airlines flight from Houston to LA, thanks to the quick actions of actor Michael Rapaport and some ex-NBA stars and current Big 3 players that were on the flight. During the flight, a man attempted to open the plane’s emergency door, and actor Michael Rapaport quickly sprung into action. Fox Sports director Ted Kenney who was also on the flight tweeted the play by play.
Crazy. On plane to LA from Houston. I am 11 rows back and I hear Michael Rapport yell "Hey" but not in a normal way and very loud. Michael is sitting in the 1st row on the right.

I see Michael shoot up out of his seat and rush to the area just between the bulkhead and the bathroom and yell "what the f%&* are you doing?" Mike continues yelling so I jump up and rush up to to Michael as does some Big 3 players.

Flip the pages to see how they were able to subdue the deranged man that tried to open the emergency door and for video from Michael Rapaport.
