Twice-Deported Honduran Illegal Alien Storms Cockpit of United Flight, Claims to Have a Bomb

A twice-deported Honduran illegal alien was arrested for storming the cockpit of a United Flight on Monday night and claiming to have a bomb.

Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto, 34, stormed the cockpit of a United flight that departed Newark International Airport en route to New Orleans.

According to reports, Gomez-Alberto was acting erratically before falsely claiming he had a bomb onboard.

The pilots radioed in a “Level 4” threat alert – which signals a hijacking attempt.

Gomez-Alberto was taken into custody in New Orleans.

Via The New York Post:

A deranged passenger claimed he had a bomb and tried to storm the cockpit of a United Airlines flight out of New Jersey Monday night, prompting pilots to send out a hijacking alert.

New Orleans-bound United flight 2174 carrying 46 passengers and six crew members departed Newark International Airport around 9:30 p.m. before pilots radioed in an attempted breach of the cockpit, according to the airline and Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office, local affiliate FOX8 reported.

Air Traffic Control audio revealed the nutjob – a 34-year-old Hispanic man who “spoke nearly no English” – was detained in the back of the plane and the aircraft landed safely in New Orleans.

He was identified as New Yorker Rony Gomez Alberto, 34, local authorities told NOLA.com, saying he was acting irrationally before falsely warning the crew he had a bomb.

United Airlines confirmed the incident with The Post, and said the Sheriff’s office met the aircraft on its arrival in New Orleans, according to authorities.

Later Tuesday, it was reported that Rony Alexander Gomez-Alberto is a twice-deported illegal alien.

Via Fox News: Per DHS – Gomez-Alberto crossed the Texas border illegally in 2011 and was deported, then illegally re-entered through the New Mexico border in 2014 and was deported a second time. He illegally re-entered the country a third time in 2019, was arrested by Border Patrol, but was released from custody after an immigration judge ordered his release.
