Did that reporter phone them and ask why? Of course not. It's something people in Thailand are told not to do from a very young age. Hardly great training for a journalist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself had an awful experience on a Lufthansa flight about 12 yrs back when a drunk nasty character created havoc after take off ! After 10 minutes of terror he was handcuffed to the back of his seat and his seat neighbor and myself were moved to the pilots rest area due to a very full flight. Needless to say he was arrested on arrival . Frightening . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come fly in the US then usually see a "Stewardess" of minimum 12 stone in the jumpseat but they can't help block the emerg exit rows on narrow body aircraft.

That's the pot calling the kettle black, lol. I don't know what brought on your little tantrum there, but if you bothered thinking about things a bit then you might have twigged that most foreigners are well-versed in both flying and alcohol, and do not generally suffer panic attacks during a routine take-off. Most foreigners, though, are not so used to the plethora of mind-altering drugs available in Thailand, both legally and illegally. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinalblue Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I love the compassion readers have on this site...A big difference between a true medical emergency and a "Karen" who demands something or refuses to comply with air protocol or policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I assume a panic attack is something serious and hard to control by the victim. Some sympathy for him is due. Unless it wasn't a panic attack and he just decided not to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Dome Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 "The flight successfully operated to Suvarnabhumi Airport at 12.34am, today, February 8." Plus two international flights diverted, that's quite a mouthful. It appears that THAI have no procedure to deal with this type of situation (and no air marshal on board)? Makes you wonder if this couldn't have been dealt with better and faster. If it was a genuine panic attack, the calls for strong punishment aren't going to change anything about the situation or even his future behavior. He should seek treatment at home.

AdrianK Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I don't know the full circumstances relating to this story, but I too suffered a panic attack as the doors closed on a 737 flight from Manchester to Paris [I suffer from chronic severe claustrophobia]. I asked to see the pilot and explained the situation, I had no checked in luggage, and he allowed me to deplane to avoid any problem inflight. No problem for the flight, but it caused a massive issue trying to get out of the airport, the reverse way...apparently Manchester airport had no SOP to deal with this sort of issue . So a genuine panic attack can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSam Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 For all those showing sympathy for this guy, I wonder how you would feel if it was just a couple minutes later, and the plane was in the air and he managed to get the door open? Oh, I know, you would feel nothing, because you, and everybody else on board would be dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
