Cool, calm and collected. That’s probably how most of us like the think of commercial airline pilots. However, 63-year-old United pilot Kenneth Johnson shot that image all to hell when he was caught on surveillance video busting out an axe and going full Thor Stormbreaker on a wooden parking arm at the Denver airport this month.
Jones was in an employee parking lot that tends to have long lines and for whatever reason, he had an axe in his trunk. So the pilot grabbed the axe and started chopping. Jones took 23 swings before the wooden arm finally fell off.
Two airport employees caught up with him and wrestled the axe away. Then cops arrested him in a nearby field. He told them he’d just “hit his breaking point.”
