Over stolen iphones. Tonight, the simple app that helps to protect yourself without going that far. And the Close Encounter caught on tape. The polar bear. The photographer who wanted to get close who was not expecting this. Shes coming closer and closer. See what happens when the 1,000pound bear tries to break through that glass. Good evening. On this saturday night. Great to have you with us here. We begin tonight with that unruly arling passenger trying to create a real scare in the air. Witnesses say that he was drunk. Over my shoulder, heres what the crew did, turning to duct tape to trap him. The passenger was on a flight from iceland to new york. Witnesses say that he was drinking his dutyfree liquor, allegedly claiming the plane would go down. Passengers holding him down as the crew trapped him with the tape. Thats just one case tonight causing real concern. The other concerns an captain, when authorities smelled something troubling on his breath. Abcs lisa stark tonight on both fronts. Reporter you might call it instant justice. This man got so drunk and so belligerent on his flight, that fellow passengers ducttaped him to a seat and strapped his mouth shut, after he allegedly choked a woman and screamed that the plane was going to crash. The Icelandic Air flight was heading from iceland to new york, the airline tells us he was restrained by passengers and crew and was monitored for his own safety. Police took the drunk passenger to a hospital, he was not charged. In minneapolis, it was a pilot who allegedly had too much to drink, way too much. American airlines captain Kolbjorn Kristiansen was caught by chance. Tsa and other officers smelling a whiff of alcohol as kristiansen was waiting for an elevator. By the time Airport Police arrested him, he had completed preflight checks for his commuter flight to new york and the 53 passengers were getting ready to board. Kristiansen failed an initial breathalyzer test. Today, we learned that it showed him way over the legal limit for pilots. That limit,. 04, half that for drivers. Were going to roll it. What do you mean it, roll it . Reporter one of the current hit movies flight. Focuses on a drunk pilot who saves passengers. Initial reports show that you had alcohol in your system. Reporter pilots are tested after any accident and face random alcohol tests as well. In the past decade about a dozen pilots a year have been caught. In one case, in 2002, tw0 American West pilots were caught drinking on surveillance tape the night before their flight. And tsa screeners smelled alcohol on their breath the next morning. The pilots were arrested before the flight took off. This isnt a major problem in the airline industry. But even one single occurrence is intolerable and cant be tolerated. Smooth sailing. Reporter drunk pilots were the subject of abcs program what would you do . Get two martinis, please . Here, actors played the pilots to see if bystanders would intervened. They didnt. I think theyre going to go fly a plane. He kept talking about new york. Reporter luckily bystanders arent the only line of defense. For pilots who admit to an alcohol problem, theres a Government Program to help and it has a 90 success rate. Allowing pilots to clean up and get back into the cockpit. David . Lisa, thank you. That experiment really troubling. If you see something, flag authorities. Lisa, thank you.

Happening in the same city where the gunmans father live. The timing of this show incentive. I dont have a solid opinion on that. Im not for or against it. But i would defend it by saying that it wasnt the gun. Reporter but the death of 20 kids and 6 teachers at sandy hook, prompted other gun shows to cancel their events. I felt that the timing of a gun show so close to that tragic event, would be in bad taste. Reporter but across the country, attendance at gun shows is up. Buyers today at this minnesota show say, theyre expecting more gun laws. Back in stamford, dealers say theyre doing nothing wrong. I have to make a living. Life goes on. Reporter they say theyre not selling any assault weapons here, just antique guns for collectors. Still stamford major called the gun show insensitive. What would you say to the mayor .

Reporter silenced and publicly disgraced, the New York Times now reports that Lance Armstrong is considering publicly admitting that he used banned performanceenhancing drugs and blood transfusions during his cycling career, because he wants to persuade antidoping officials to restore his eligibility so he can resume his athletic career. According to unnamed sources. It would be a dramatic shift for armstrong who has fought with and sued anyone who accused him of doping for years and who remain defiant under oath in a civil case. How many times do i have to say it . It cant be any cleaner that i havent taken drugs. It would be extremely out of character to see armstrong come forward now. The last time i spoke with him was in july. And his words to me were, there will never, ever be a confession. Reporter abc news learned that armstrong has quietly made comments, they share training data, where armstrong until a few days posted under a alias. Challenging days for sure around the pelota house but brighter days ahead. Less than a week, responding to a post about his critics, armstrong wrote, i got my life. They got theirs. I aint trading for nothing. Head high and heart full. The stakes are enormous and an armstrong confession could affect civil claims.
