Subject: Airline passenger duct-taped into seat.

I couldn't think of anything creative, so I just wrote this.

I'm surprised they didn't filter him out pre-boarding - I work at an airport, and if someone is really intoxicated, or being a dick, we'll stop them from flying.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

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

That appears to be what happened to a disruptive male passenger aboard a flight from Iceland to New York on Thursday after a photo surfaced on social media showing a man bound to his seat.

Iceland Air said it could not confirm the validity of the photo, but said there was "an incident with a passenger on the flight from Reykjavik to New York" in which the passenger was restrained.

The man was "hitting, screaming and spitting at other passengers, while yelling profanities," according to airline spokesman Michael Raucheisen, who said the passenger's "behavior was considered to be unruly and threatening."

"To ensure the safety of those on board, he was restrained by passengers and crew and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight," he added.

The man was arrested after the flight arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, New York, the airline said. The Port Authority said the man was not charged and was taken to a local hospital.

Raucheisen said duct tape and plastic zip ties are considered standard protocol when restraining a passenger.

"This equipment is on board all our flights in case an incident like this arises," he said.

A photo posted on Facebook by a fellow passenger showed a man tied to the back of his seat with his legs tied together, and tape on his ankles and over his mouth.



Anyways, I don't think the man was harmed and the whole thing seems reasonable. I can't really imagine what he was doing that got him into this situation but considering "passengers and crew" restrained him it must have been pretty bad.

Disregard Females, acquire currency.

I was debating earlier if I should have made a thread about it. There was also another article about a bank robber getting caught flapping.

^This.

OT: The guy must have at least been either using extremely harsh language or threatening assault to have his hands tied like that. And the fact he was taken to hospital rather than charged confirms he was a loose cannon.

Apparently he got a little/lot out of hand on a trans-Atlantic flight and got his hands zip-tied behind him and taped into his seat.

At least they are nice seats and have LCD's in the back of each headrest.

Oh! Maybe for being bad, they made him watch MLP or something!

So, how rowdy do you think that you'd need to be before the flight attendants are grabbing the tape?
I'd have happily watched MLP for the whole flight.

This could become hotter than planking or owling EVER were.

Duct-Tapping? Hmmm, I can see it being popular.

Hell yes.

People taped (the higher off the ground the better) to landmarks and odd locations?

Next hot thing.

Gonna need Gorilla Tape or something else to get some really good ones.
