The video cut out a bit early. I think she got a tune up by the passengers, which is a good thing.
Hawkmoon - Never underestimate another person's capacity for stupidity. Any time you think someone can't possibly be that dumb ... they'll prove you wrong.
Viking - The problem with the modern world is that there aren't really any predators eating stupid people.
What has the judicial system decided in regards to incidents of a passenger making a threat and other passengers tuning/restraining the threat maker?
This is why instead of banning smoking on planes they should require it. Not less than one cigarette every 30 minutes per passenger.
He doesn't look like a Fed.
That is the idea.
Good job, Mr. Badass Good Samaritan, you beat up someone who wasn't a threat to anyone except maybe her own dignity
Also, why aren't flight attendants trained in basic restraint and holding techniques? I would think this sort of behavior isn't all that uncommon on airplanes, with people freeking out and such?
Meh. I have a hard time thinking tuning someone up when they are irrational due to anxiety/panic attack/nicotine fit is all that entertaining.

Sorry, but I wouldn't be willing to bet my life (and those I had with me) on Ms. Nic-Fit not following through on her threat. Opening an emergency exit or door in flight would be a giant ball of suck (literally). Post 9/11, you threaten to kill everyone on the plane, you are getting subdued. You have a choice. You can do it our way, or you can it our way harder.
It is not possible to open the emergency exits or other doors in flight. You would have to be Superman to accomplish that.

Fixed that a little. I have opened doors/ramps in flight many times, the highest (ramp on C2) was at 25K feet. bob
If you were on that plane and the nitwit tried to open a door, would you be comfortable letting her try?
