Barry Clarke, in 1C, a shearer from Echuca did very well !
Echuca man Barry Clark, a passenger who tackled the man, told ABC Radio Melbourne he appeared to be dressed as a maintenance technician.“The lovely air hostess was just questioning this bloke trying to come on dressed up as a worker,” Clark said.“He got agitated, and before we know it a shotgun appeared, and I was worried about it being shot, so all I could do was push her out of the way, get the gun out of the way, break that gun and throw it down the stairs, and then put him in a hold, throw him to the ground until the police came.
“I didn’t know what his full intention was, it looked like he was trying to get into the cockpit.“You don’t think, you act. I’ve been taught from a boy to be responsible to look after others, and we’re a sporting family, so I was quietly confident I could handle him.“I didn’t want to see that poor girl get shot, do you just gotta do what you gotta do.
“He was perfectly dressed for the job, he looked like a technician.”
