Wasn't another passenger Duct taped to their seat about a year ago? Or did I have a really vivid dream about the future ..

EDIT. It seems to have happened a few times. American Airlines in particular seem to like it.

    I feel like I could bust out of that much duct tape. Madness is wasted on the old.

    Tape job wasn't that great because I think a few passengers basically had to sit on him to restrain him during landing. He was trying to get up to hit people.

    If I'm one of those passengers having to pull a Nurse Ratchet on some mad bastard, I better be getting free drinks for the rest of that flight.

    There is a version of this that has music in the background and is 10x better, but I don't have the time to find it rn.

    Surely there was a better way of doing this...

    If their faces weren't blurred, and people could see what an utter berk they looked like adhered to the seat, less people might indulge in such behaviour.

    So wait, what did the guy do? Reading the article linked it basically sounds like "some guy was verbally being a dick, so a former cop and his friend decided to jump the guy and tape him up." The pictures show him bruised and bleeding and he looks out cold.

    Have fun on Greyhound or using a boat to get across the pond.

    My first thought was who's bringing duck tape in their carry-on? Or is it something that the flight attendants had just in case there were some unruly individuals? 😂
