BANGKOK: -- A passenger thought to be mentally ill goes on a rampage aboard a plane taxiing at Don Mueang Airport and literally orders the captain to stand down in a video shared Saturday.

The incident happened last week aboard flight FD3245 leaving Bangkok to Trang on Wednesday when the female passenger randomly stood up from her seat as the plane was about to take off and told everyone to get the hell off.

"Stop flying! Do I have to look up the law? Everyone, get out! You will find out why!" the passenger said as a flight attendant attempted to calm her down.

Now everyone can fly.

[JeremyBowskill]

"A passenger thought to be mentally ill goes on a rampage" Really? hardly a rampage was it. 'Person gets up and shouts a little'might be a better title.........

[lee b]

If she acts like this she should be banned from flying from all airlines for life.

[Scully]

If she acts like this she should be banned from flying from all airlines for life.

So much compassion for the mentally ill, lol.

[canman]

How does one randomly stand up?

[alocacoc]

more and more lunatics out there. It's epidemic.

[dutchisaan]

To bad that airasia has the slogun;

Now everybody can fly.

[Tywais]

How does one randomly stand up?

Toss a coin to decide to stand up or not?

[thesetat2013]

Sounds like she was already flying high and reached cloud 9.

[casualbiker]

She does actually look a bit crazy, just standing there staring!

[searcher22]

I really felt sorry for that woman. I hope she gets the care she needs. Good job by Air Asia personnel in remaining calm and not escalating the situation.

[circusman]

No mention what happened next.......

[Seastallion]

I tell you, if someone shouted, ".. Everyone, get out! You will find out why!" , I would be asking the pilot to let me off pretty damn quickly!

[SheungWan]

I don't feel sorry for her at all. She was a potential danger to all the other passengers.

[Vogele123]

I think she just wants to get off to carry on the party at the Bangkok intersection with her boyfriend the drunken cop on the other Coconuts video.

How does one randomly stand up?

By standing up for no apparent reason.

[bdenner]

Surely an agitated person is detectable prior to boarding. I, for one, spend my waiting time just looking at the body language of the passengers, in the departure lounge, just looking for something out of the ordinary.

Paranoid, probably yes!

[rtco]

Wow that is some rampage!?!?!?!?

[Thakkar]

The headline is misleading and the story is a waste of time. There was no rampage. Could TV please mark Coconuts stories by name so that I only click on them when I've had a few drinks first. please?

Clinically speaking, paranoid ...yes.

Not judging .. just saying.

Please allow me to ask the question most likely oin a lot of reader's minds right now...

When you see "body language of the passengers ....... out of the ordinary"

What do you do then?

[Cuchulainn]

Hardly a "rampage"!!

[MaxYakov]

Hardly a "rampage"!!

Enough for a return to the gate and an escort off the plane, IMHO.

[Rhys]

See what you get for not serving those cocktail peanuts early.....

[Bangkok Barry]

She and her family were escorted off the plane. So why did her family not intervene and get her to sit down? Just do the Thai thing and blank something unpleasant, like a five-year old would?

[hawksway]

Thought most had lost it already!

[MockingJay]

Things like this always make me very sad. I feel very sorry for that woman and for anyone that is diagnosed as insane, paranoid, etc...

Must be terrible if you are trapped in your own paranoid world, while people on the outside can't understand what is going on with you or inside your head.

Hhhhmm, thinking about it - sounds like a perfect description of a politician, doesn't it?

[The Deerhunter]

Poorly titled & sensationally worded "news" item. Poor woman. Well handled by the cabin crew.

[Oziex1]

These paranoid people distress me so much with the way they look at me and how they follow me around, what is wrong with these people.

[connda]

She wouldn't have any relationship to some major influential person in AirAsia by any chance. Maybe her peanuts were delivered in a bag instead of a crystal bowl...
