FedEx Flight 705
This is one of, if not the most, notorious incidents of cockpit crew "Anger Management" issues.
Acknowledging that it was not an active crew member, it is still indicative of the possible situations involving the Human Factor Don so correctly mentions.
(I think, as a Jump Seat rider, he could technically be called to duty should an in-flight situation arise, making him an adjunct crew?)

"As a disgruntled employee attacked the crew of a Federal Express cargo jet this week, the first officer threw the plane into a series of dangerous rolls and dives to keep the assailant off balance as crew members tried to subdue him, a newspaper reported today.
The employee, Auburn Calloway, 42, was charged on Friday with assaulting the three-man crew of the DC-10 jumbo jet with a hammer, knife and spear gun shortly after the plane left Memphis International Airport on Thursday for a routine run to San Jose, Calif. "
I still get shivers reading about it...
