<p>"I never heard the word 'bomb' on the plane," McAlhany told
TIME in a telephone interview. "I never heard the word bomb until the
FBI asked me did you hear the word bomb. That is ridiculous." Even the
authorities didn't come out and say bomb, McAlhany says. "They asked,
'Did you hear anything about the b-word?'" he says. "That's what they
called it."
</p>
<p>When the incident began McAlhany was in seat 24C, in the middle
of the plane. "[Alpizar] was in the back," McAlhany says, "a few seats
from the back bathroom. He sat down." Then, McAlhany says, "I heard an
argument with his wife. He was saying 'I have to get off the plane.'
She said, 'Calm down.'" </p>
<p>
Alpizar took off running down the aisle, with his wife close behind
him. "She was running behind him saying, 'He's sick. He's sick. He's
ill. He's got a disorder," McAlhany recalls. "I don't know if she said
bipolar disorder [as one witness has alleged]. She was trying to
explain to the marshals that he was ill. He just wanted to get off the
plane."
</p>

</p>
<p>McAlhany described Alpizar as carrying a big backpack and
wearing a fanny pack in front. He says it would have been impossible
for Alpizar to lie flat on the floor of the plane, as marshals ordered
him to do, with the fanny pack on. "You can't get on the ground with a
fanny pack," he says. "You have to move it to the side."
