Photo: One Way To Deal With "Unruly" Airline Passengers? Duct Tape

8년 전 제출됨

Passenger drank all of his duty free liquor on the flight from Iceland to JFK yesterday. When he became unruly, (i.e. trying to choke the woman next to him and screaming the plane was going to crash), fellow passengers subdued him and tie him up for the rest of the flight. He was escorted off the flight by police when it landed. (gothamist.com) 기타...

I can't believe they didn't file any charges against that jerk. Choking and spitting on people is OK as long as your judgement is impaired by alcohol?

As a health and safety issue, it's about time airlines world-wide banned alcohol on board all international flights. It's just too risky in such a closed space. Surely people can wait until they land.

I'm not convinced this photo was taken on the Icelandair flight in question. In the photo, that's 2x2 seating into which the unruly passenger is taped. According to flightaware, all the KEF-JFK flights in the last twelve days were flown by 752's or 753's. Icelandair does have 2x2 seating on their 757's, but only in business class. I'm pretty sure those seats in the photo are economy seats.

I know that Icelandair has, in the past, leased a 767. I don't know if they are leasing one now. Nonetheless, the KEF-JFK flights are all listed as 757's. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/ICE615

Those seats are 3x3. He's sitting between two armrests, and there are two more behind him. It looks like 2x2 because the B seat in the row in front of him is slightly reclined.

Well... that might be a bit excessive. Perhaps people should be banned from drinking liquor they purchased in duty free. That way, flight attendants would be in control of passengers' alcohol consumption.

When I really need to sleep on a long flight, that little glass of wine with dinner really helps. I'm willing to bet that it's healthier than the pharmaceutical sleep aids.

Idiot. If some jackass does something similar on a flight I am on, whatever it takes to NOT make an unscheduled landing or delay my travel plans is what needs to be done - including but by no means limited to using tape to keep a moron in their seat. I would also have taped his head in place, made sure his eyelids could not close, and set the TV screen to the in flight safety channel.

Too bad the Captain didn't drop him off in Goose Bay, Labrador. Reports from England are that he was taken to a hospital in Queens and the Port Authority decided not to file charges. Better he wake up in a cold RCMP cell, two feet of snow and -20 wind chill outside and left to find his way home...wherever that might be.

Perhaps you aren't considering the political ramifications involved with diverting a flight between two specific countries to a third country just because some commenter on flightaware believes that drunk people should be treated like women in the middle east.

Actually I was thinking of you...I did a gig in MAD a few years ago and on the way home to MIA on American a guy pulled this same type of crap, indecent exposure and molesting the female cabin crew. Captain came back and the guy took a swing at him. Fifteen minutes later we descended into Bermuda where the very efficient bobbies come in the front door and took him out the back, unfortunately using the stairway.

As I had looked after another sick passenger I filled out the usual reports and left the crew my email. I got a note about a month later thanking me for volunteering and that the guy rotted in jail in Bermuda for three weeks before he got sprung. All his high priced Miami legal help could do nothing for him. Having spent a short time in that brig as a young midshipman, I can attest to the degree of crowding and discomfort he endured.

I know what you would do.

You must be in jest...this occurred in Canadian airspace and there would be no "political" ramifications. Goose is a frequent stop as is Gander where the aircraft was controlled. YHZ has regular "drop ins". In fact, on this forum last year the very situation come up and the individual involved was refused a ticket on Air Canada as he tried to find his way home from Goose to the USA. Likewise being drunk is one matter, but choking the woman in the next seat and interfering with the aircraft operation is entirely another and generally frowned upon.

Unscheduled stops are very common, particularly when there are big headwinds over the Atlantic now that many airlines are using 757's. The Concorde was a regular drop in to YHZ for fuel and repairs.

Do a Google or Bing search for "Goose Bay Gander Unruly Passenger" and you will find this is a common occurrence involving both men and women. All are taken very seriously by the RCMP and subject the passenger to an expensive hangover to get home...especially to Moscow like the last woman.

As a retired paramedic, I see a big problem with taping over this passenger's mouth. It partially obstructs his airway. This is always dangerous. If he had vomited, not uncommon when people front too much, he could have died. Better to put up with some yelling than to face possible criminal prosecution and a suit from the family.

Get too far out of line aboard an international flight and you could be restrained in your seat with zip ties and duct tape.
