Travellers deal to passenger from hell

A drunken passenger reportedly spent an almost six-hour flight bound and gagged after his behaviour forced his fellow passengers to tape him to his seat. One of those passengers was Andy Ellwood, who posted a photo of the man taped up on Tumblr. Ellwood offered a brief caption to the photo, saying the incident happened on a flight from Iceland to New York on Thursday. The man reportedly drank his entire quota of duty free liquor in the first hour of the flight, and then tried to strangle another passenger before screaming the plane was going down.

"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," Ellwood said. "He was escorted off the flight by police when it landed."

According to the Daily Mail, the man also spat on several passengers during his meltdown which happened just a few hours into the flight. IcelandAir confirmed to reporters the man was acting dangerously but would not comment on the picture. It is not known whether the man had any mental health issues but the Mail said a Port Authority spokesman confirmed the passenger was taken to hospital Authorities had also decided not to charge him.

Lets just hope the judges are of the same wisdom when the lawsuits begin :hmmm:

The guy should've been charged, regardless of what happened to him.

If the authorities haven't charged him he must have mental health issues.

They are incredibly lucky he didn't start vomiting while his mouth was taped up like that. He could have easily aspirated his own vomit and drowned with out them noticing. Then they would be in a whole heap of trouble.

And the woman next to him is lucky he didn't choke her to death. It seems he tried. What were their options? Tie him up but leave his mouth free so he could disrupt the rest of the flight?
