Rapper Asher Roth Beats Down Alleged Would-be LAX Bomber
Filed under: Music Minute > Legal Matters
Pennsylvania rapper Asher Roth helped detain a man who made a bomb threat on an Atlanta to Los Angeles flight on Wednesday.
Asher was headed to LA for a performance on Last Call With Carson Daly.
The music man reportedly gave the FBI a statement and was asked not to speak out about the incident for the time being.
The 'bomber' was subdued by a number of passengers, including Asher, and they restrained him with plastic ties.
And, upon landing at LAX, the man tried to exit through one of the aircraft doors!
The picture above was snapped by Asher's bassist on the plane.
Crazy stuff!
It's good to hear that no one was seriously harmed.

Cool.
because i am SURE the man actually managed to sneak a bomb onto that plane right past airport security . clearly he did not actually have a bomb…. my god
Asher Roth - who the fuck is he? Maybe now the American people will know with this story….
bombs are so damn pointless
i'd shit myself if that happened while i was on a plane……..
but i guess i'd also feel all warm and cuddly that people take douches O-U-T!!
Re: theresalongo – oh, of course!! because TSA is so damn good!! what the fuck planet do you reside on?
great way to get free publicity…just sayin

Is it just me or do the passengers look a little too calm? Or maybe they,re just too busy shitting they pants to look scared.

Don't know who Asher Roth is either. Publicity aside, it's still nice to hear about people trying to do the right thing.

Good 4 all of them for helping out..they never found a bomb on him or his bags..they think he has mental illness. Perez update your story!
Asher Roth is def the shit….hahahahahahahahah
the TSA are lower than mall security
It can't have been that fantastic–the old man nearby has no reaction of any kind and the guy next to him looks on with no shock what so ever.
why do all the passengers look so calm…i'd be like,
"shit some psycho on my plane had a bomb?!"
IT WAS NOT ASHER ROTH IT WAS HIS GUITARIST
