Drunk, Ranting Man Bound and Gagged by Airline

"A passenger aboard an Icelandair flight had to be tied down by fellow passengers after going on a rampage Thursday.

According to Icelandic media outlet MBL.is, the passenger began acting out two hours before the flight was set to land. He reportedly had been drinking heavily, and allegedly began ranting, spitting and threatening the crew before he was restrained."*

What is a flight crew to do when someone gets belligerently drunk and starts into an aggressive rant? Well, Icelandair has one solution. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Ben Mankiewicz (Host, Turner Classic Movies) break it down.

"If you're gonna get drunk, you just go yell in the bathroom at yourself or something." Brilliant advice Cenk. xD

[GoTuTrIpN]

*duct-taped

Now ... you guys, TYT that is, have already covered this incident. You made jokes about the sounds this duct-tapes man was making. So why are you covering it again? Why are you pretending that the airline or someone from the airline taped him up when you know full-well that it was other passengers who taped him to his chair? I like TYT. I enjoy TYT's take on news, but I don't understand why you need to retrace this incident.

Lol! "Just go to the bathroom and yell at yourself "

[KazokuMugiwara]

I was going to write something funny, but I doubt I could bet that. So funny, lol!

but in this case, they are :)

The man lives in the Caribbean and has been band to fly with Icelandair, and is being sued in Iceland by the airline. He is Icelandic and will have a extremely hard time ever returning to Iceland again. But I would think they would allow him to fly home to attend his court hearings :)

Watch 15 minutes of any televangelist channel and you'll see how commercial Christianity has become. Perhaps churches in Iceland aren't used to flog books and dvds, but the 'mega-churches' lokalkakan references are big business in America.
