Quoting EXAAUADL (Reply 1): he needs to be wacked on the head. |
Quoting BlueSkys (Reply 6): ....I have never seen a panic attack like that, the guy must have had a huge fear of flying. |
Quoting FlyEmirates (Thread starter): Thought you lot might find this clip interesting, I find it rather sad that have an increasing amount of 'white hating' undesirables coming to the UK. |
Quoting FlyEmirates (Thread starter): Anyone know what was the outcome, is he now living happily on benefits in hounslow or did he receive any sort of sentence for this outburst? |
Quoting Irobertson (Reply 5): The only thing he's going to get is a ban from Air Canada |
Quoting Skoker (Reply 11): Do airlines carry Lorazepam/Diazepam onboard for situations like this? |
Quoting RoseFlyer (Reply 2): That's a somewhat disturbing scene. That man is having a panic attack and it looks like he's being restrained. |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 16): but the other passengers complete ignored anything that was happening. |
Quoting RoseFlyer (Reply 2): I'm kind of surprised that video made it onto the internet. |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 18): It's not so much ignoring as keeping out of the way so professionals can do their job and giving the person with a medical issue some privacy in an otherwise public area. I'd rather have that than a planeload of lookyloos getting in the way. |
Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 3): That would be the South of the Border approach. |
Quoting Irobertson (Reply 5): I worry to know what would have happened on an American flag carrier. |
Quoting Skoker (Reply 11): Lorazepam/Diazepam onboard for situations like this? |
Quoting Dcayow (Reply 22): Unfortunately, we don't live in a world like Canada - in which some harbor the belief (however naive) that their dominion has no enemies. |
Quoting EXAAUADL (Reply 1): he needs to be wacked on the head |
Quoting Flyingcat (Reply 17): Now I have some brass knuckles, anyone have a bat? |
Quoting 777STL (Reply 29): What the hell is that supposed to mean? |
Quoting UncleBuck (Reply 20): Unless you are a nurse or a doctor or of that sort, you help best by staying in your seat. |
Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 26): Wacking him on the head and risking death or beating him to a pulp with brass knuckles or a bat, is not part of the culture that I was raised in (however naive). |
Quoting Tonystan (Reply 34): he insisted on wiping his own faeces on the toilet wall after he was allowed go to the loo. He was under the impression that we would divert if he did it and so have another chance of avoiding deportation for a |
Quoting Connector4you (Reply 13): Quoting from Canada's no fly list inception act: "Data would also be shared with American and British security officials" |
Quoting AZO (Reply 14): i think you'd be pretty hard-pressed to find an airline willing to take the responsibility of carrying a controlled substance on board for purposes like this. |
Quoting Eghansen (Reply 16): I thought it was interesting that the woman sitting in the seat in front of the man was completely ignoring the situation. Maybe we are just becoming inured to strange things happening when we fly. |
Quoting Dcayow (Reply 22): "Battle of Manhattan". |
Quoting Flyingcat (Reply 17): Time to get some justice on this noisy fellow "Airplane" style. Now I have some brass knuckles, anyone have a bat? |
Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 26): Wacking him on the head and risking death or beating him to a pulp with brass knuckles or a bat, is not part of the culture that I was raised in (however naive). |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 32): Can you say taser eh |
Quoting Threepoint (Reply 36): he was clearly not intending to be disruptive. |
Quoting 777STL (Reply 29): Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 3): That would be the South of the Border approach. What the hell is that supposed to mean? |
Quoting 777STL (Reply 29): Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 3): That would be the South of the Border approach. What the hell is that supposed to mean? |
Quoting Sh0rtybr0wn (Reply 38): Once again, Bravo to AC for handling this situation with a bit of kindness and not over reacting and tazing the guy, which would have only made things worse and further traumatized everyone onboard. |
Quoting 777STL (Reply 29): What the hell is that supposed to mean? |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 32): That is not the American approach either |
Quoting FLYACYYZ (Reply 41): I simply said South of the Border, meaning, "not here in Canada". No reference was ever made to America, American, or the U.S. |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 32): That is not the American approach either. Most cases like this on American carriers are handle with the appropriate level of force. |
Quoting Tonystan (Reply 34): Suppose I should not expect much but heyo, wonders never cease!!!! |
Quoting TUNisia (Reply 43): AC handled the situation perfectly. Kudos to that male FA for keeping cool... |
Quoting Ikramerica (Reply 45): The "typical American response" to every situation is not violence. |
Quoting Threepoint (Reply 36): Would this necessarily place somebody on a permanent no-fly list? |
