He didn't look that big..it would have been easy to knock him off his perch.

I'm a reasonably decent sized guy, a bit over 6'1" and just under 200#. I'm not a fighter though. But I think walking by like you didn't notice him and then snagging him and putting him on the ground, or maybe just engaging him in casual conversation (unrelated to the insanity) might also have been another route to take.

But then do you want to be the guy getting sued and put on the no-fly list because you tried to stop a nutter but things get out of hand and somehow you end up on the wrong side of things.

Yeah, someone definitely needed to call a stewardess ASAP.
