JetBlue Flight 191 was a scheduled domestic commercial passenger flight from New York to Las Vegas, United States. On March 27, 2012, the Airbus A320 serving the route diverted to Amarillo, Texas, after the captain, suffering from an apparent mental breakdown, started behaving erratically and making increasingly incoherent and disturbing statements, prompting the first officer to lock him out of the cockpit and ask the passengers and crew to restrain him. There were no fatalities.
