Airline Panic Attack [ORIGINAL]

I don't know what happened here. But this happened on my Air Canada plane ride to London, England in December 6th, 2007 from Toronto.

At 3:15 sec he says "f'in white people". I personally believe that another passenger somehow provoked or encouraged this persons paranoid behaviour.

What is important is that everybody arrived safely.

I am no medical doctor so I have no idea what this man was going through, but I feel that he seemed more concerned for his own safety? I think he was scared. I think it's a very fascinating phenomenon.

My partner and I decided we should videotape this in the interest of sharing the experience we went through on this plane with those interested.

NEW (My Partner has requested that I add this info that she has written) - Dec 17, 2007:

"I've been wanting to avoid making a post about this video, but feel I had to after all the false presumptions I'm reading. I am the "partner" of 2003Tiburon. Clarification #1 He's a man, and I'm a woman
#2 We kept filming this because we were concerned for the man re: recent Vancouver airport incident
#3 He is not a prisoner being deported. Where he is in the video isn't his original seat. He was brought to the middle aisle so that he could be better restrained by the man sitting on each side of him. Several plastic cuffs were brought out by the flight attendants almost as soon as the man started yelling
#4 Yes it was scary at times, but the crew and a couple of fellow passengers did an excellent job and I commend them, I also commend the calm nature of my fellow passengers despite the unsettling circumstances.
#5 I was awoken by his screaming, so I'm not positive if he was set off by anyone. I do know that a large white British man would walk by him and antagonize him. This was equally annoying, because it was usually when the man had quieted down.
#6 This man is likely Indian decent, he mentions Muslims, but its not exactly complimentary, HOWEVER I could really care less about this - didn't matter to me who was screaming - white, Chinese, innu - it would have been equally unnerving."

Panic attacks are real & can be very debilitating. But they are treatable so don't give up hope if you struggle with them! Contact your physician. You'll get through it!

anyone notice the dude with the black freemason cap on? hmmmmm?

@antibulletdodger101 In my experience, when I feel an attack coming on, it's usually accompanied by increased adrenaline, dizziness & a general sense of fear that I'm going to collapse. These PAA symptoms can also resemble those of an aura or petit mal seizure, given the fact that I'm epileptic & have first hand experience. Nonetheless, this man was most likely ( as you stated ) suffering from psychosis. Hope they were able to calm him down.

They want to shoot him ? JUST SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD so the flight will be quiet again.

Ups, he also Cheating, mad because water, LOL

@kittywhiskerz I´m not implying you ment anything "wrong" with your post. I simply stated that the symptoms shown by the man in the video is more of a psychosis than a PAA. If you´ve suffered PAA you might know that you don´t start screaming and become unruly physically, although in your mind you´re on full throttle. I´m not making a diagnose either, but it seems far more likely to be a psychosis rather than PAA.

@antibulletdodger101 I never suggested he was experiencing a panic attack. My original comment was a message of encouragement to those who may be challenged with PAA. I would never try to mislead anyone, especially considering I'm not a physician. I am epileptic & have been diagnosed with PAA, so I am familiar with the symptoms associated with each disorder. His physical aggressiveness seems characteristic of something other than PAA. Hate to say it, but he could have really hurt someone.

[antibulletdodger101]

@21boxhead Not a doctor but a nurse. I know the differences between PAA and psychosis. I´ve experienced bad PA attacks myself on a few occations 4-5 years back, and I guarantee you thats not how persons with PPA react. I strongly believe the man had a pychosis, which he shows signs of.

[21boxhead]

@antibulletdodger101 sure you a doctor?

[antibulletdodger101]

@21boxhead thats a psycosis, not a PAA.

[antibulletdodger101]

@kittywhiskerz thats not what happens when you get a panic anxiety attack. that people start screaming and run around like crazy is what people who dont know what PAA is think it is. that guy is crazy. it´s most probably a psychosis
