Delta denies cockpit breach attempt on Houston-to-Atlanta flight

An Atlanta-bound Delta flight was forced to return to Houston’s Hobby Airport Wednesday morning due to an unruly passenger. While initial police reports suggested an attempted cockpit breach, Delta Air Lines has clarified that the passenger never made contact with the flight deck. Flight 2557 landed safely, a suspect was taken into custody, and the aircraft has since re-departed for Hartsfield-Jackson.
