A harrowing incident occurred on board Thai Airways flight TG637 when a Thai worker returning from Taiwan reportedly became delusional and attempted to open the emergency exit mid-flight. Fellow passengers sprang into action, subduing and restraining the man until the plane safely landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

 

The alarming event was captured on video and shared by TikTok user @yao1926.new, who described the frightening experience. “I’ve been flying for over ten years, and this is the first time I’ve witnessed something like this. It was terrifying, but thankfully everyone is safe thanks to the heroes who helped control the situation.”

 

According to the post, the man appeared to be under the influence of drugs, causing him to become erratic and attempt to open the emergency door. Passengers acted quickly, restraining him with makeshift ties to his seat. Once the plane landed in Bangkok, airport security and police boarded the aircraft to take the man into custody.

 

In the video, the restrained man is seen asking officials, “Where are we now?” Upon being informed they had landed in Thailand, he claimed, “The drugs are out of my system now.”

 

The incident has raised concerns about in-flight safety and the need for vigilance among passengers and crew. Thai Airways has not yet issued a statement regarding the event.

 

The TikTok user thanked the brave individuals who intervened to prevent a potential disaster and ensured the flight’s safe arrival. “It was scary, but thanks to those heroes, the situation was brought under control, and we landed safely.”

Fortunately he would break his fingers before opening an emergency exit on cruising altitude.

But of course it is a frightening scene.

What are you on about? The video is from after the landing, when the police came to pick him up.
