A discomforting event unfolded during Ryanair’s recent flight, when a passenger tried to open the aircraft door as the plane cruised along the runway, preparing to depart from Zadar, a city in southwestern Croatia. The flight was bound for London Stansted, England.

 

The incident, which occurred last Friday, June 30, was caught on a video clip recorded by a fellow passenger. The clip revealed startling behaviour from a 27 year old British professional boxer, who suddenly sprang from his seat, became agitated, and stormed to the front of the aircraft. Even more disturbingly, the man demanded the flight attendants to open the aircraft door.

 

The same man then raised his fist, yelling as he bypassed the crew member in the aisle, The Sun reported. Promptly, two heroic passengers, who were sitting, stood up and tackled the havoc-causing young man.

A Brit again.

Wow, the guy should be arrested and banned from flying, put on a no fly list! Endangering the lives of everyone on board?

Looks he was on 'something'? Whatever needs locking up!! 

Kudos to the two passengers who did the right thing.

what an idiot nutter

 

he will get his just deserts when off the aircraft

Perhaps he wanted to pop out and have a free pee instead of paying Ryanair's toilet charge (2009)?

 

Only technical issues are holding back plan to charge passengers £1 to use onboard lavatory

Again?

Too many blows to the head? Maybe stop boxing.

You ve seen  Connor McGregor with the mascotte? Should be an innocent promotion, but he hit full and hard and knocked out the mascotte completely. 

What was he thinking or didnt he?

This boxer guy also lost his mind obviously or is it a new trend, opening doors while flying? Is is yet the second person trying to do so.

Not that surprising on a flight to London. 
 

It seems he had some kind of breakdown,  maybe a panic attack. It continued long after his arrest by all accounts. Let’s not mock someone with potentially serious mental health issues until we know the full story.

Damn those steroids.

If he has potentially serious mental health issues, should he be allowed to fly? Doing what he did endangered all the passengers on that aircraft!

Maybe this was the first time he had such symptoms.

 

It’s not that dangerous when the plane is still stationary on the runway. But I would agree that in future he certainly shouldn’t be allowed to fly until his apparent mental health issues are under control.

Just looks like some guy having a panic attack off his steroids is all.

 

Nationailty aside.

Mid flight, but still on the runway, which was it?

Sad. One too many blows to the head.

I didn't say anything about discrimination did I? I might have mentioned a nationality.

Xenophobic remark perhaps, all nationalities do stupid things, do you always single out the Brits, you should be ashamed.
