    Default Dumb Drunk Passenger Taped to Seat on Flight

    Another nitwit.


    "A passenger who became unruly after allegedly drinking too much alcohol had to be taped to his seat on a trans-Atlantic flight, witnesses and authorities said"

    “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(d) him up for the rest of the flight. He was escorted off the flight by police when it landed.”

    Bizarrely, federal prosecutors declined to prosecute the menace because passengers wouldn’t come forward to detail the man’s threatening behavior to authorities, a source told The Post.
    Too bad the pilot didn't drop down to a safe altitude, open a door and toss the filthy drunk out of the plane.

    Link has a picture of the drunk all tied up. Shame the rest of the passengers didn't beat him senseless when they had the chance.

    Why would they need to beat him senseless? He was tied up and couldn't move. Likewise, he wasn't a threat anymore.

    "but a spokesman for the airline confirmed the incident to Icelandic media, adding that plastic ties and tape are standard on board flights to help in such situations."


    Just one of many uses of duct tape and plastic ties. Brilliant.
