The incident occurred at 526pm local time on the West Coast, so markets were closed. You wouldn't be able to trade.
I'm a bit surprised that question is being asked. Fundamental investing is all about understanding things about a company that nobody else knows. This is an age old approach to investing. If you happen to stumble on that information, it doesn't make it insider trading.
Where is crosses the line is if you're an insider and effectively breach your duty to the company or as a fiduciary. You're effectively stealing from the company. A passenger on an airline cannot steal information.
