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.

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.

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.

It happens somewhat regularly.

Small price to pay for keeping the peace!

Hostess better have my fourth negroni or I'm siding with the prisoner.

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.

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.

It's pretty funny as is

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? 😂

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

I didn't read this article because I read it somewhere else the other day. It said zip-ties and duct tape are common equipment on passenger flights for exactly this purpose (restraining someone).

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

Utter berk indeed!

Guy's having a mental health crisis...should get medical care not arrested.

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.

Where did you find that? This article is quite lacking in details and makes it sound like all he did was verbal harassment.

I read one a few days ago, there's def a picture of the guy being sat on.

Theyre also load bearing components for when the mechanics fix the plane

I just wonder who's bringing all this duct tape in their carry on

"Careful. That's a load bearing poster on the wall."

They keep it on the plane just in case.

It's pretty standard equipment on planes I'm assuming, lots of uses for it.
