Yet another airplane passenger decided to try and exit the plane mid-flight. The incident happened on an American Airlines flight from Milwaukee to Dallas-Fort Worth. The man went up to a flight attendant in the front galley and made a comment about “needing to exit the aircraft now.” As he became louder and more agitated, she alerted other attendants, and also made a hand gesture to passengers near her indicating she needed assistance. She then placed herself between the door and the passenger. He jumped on top of her screaming, “I’m getting off this plane. I need to get off the plane.” Another passenger came to her aid and bear-hugged the guy until more passengers and the crew subdued him. At landing, the passenger was seen lying on his stomach with his hands behind his back bound as well as his ankles with duct tape.
* Some people would pay extra for that.
* Why did he need to leave so badly? Was the in-flight movie “Megalopolis”?
* Other passengers saw the man bound up and said, “Can I do that? It looks more comfortable than my seat.”
* “Sorry, sir, you can’t exit the plane mid-flight. This is an Airbus, not a Boeing.”
* The real winner here was the guy’s seatmates, who suddenly had all the arm and leg room they wanted.
