Unruly plane passenger duct-taped to seat on ‘chaotic’ flight — what happened next was even more bizarre
This lovebird made the best of a sticky situation.
Dubbed the “most chaotic flight ever,” cabin crew members were forced to duct tape a petulant airplane passenger to his seat while a separate, presumably freaked-out flyer popped the question to his now-fiancée.
“It was the most chaotic flight of my life,” said Maísa Barberino, a Florida-based content creator, in the first clip of a TikTok video series, during which she spilled the hair-raising tea on her recent trip on an unidentified airline from Pennsylvania to Miami.
“As soon as we took off, this guy started being kind of annoying … and at some point of the flight he just got really aggressive,” continued Barberino.
She also revealed that the unnamed aggressor allegedly groped two female flight attendants’ breasts and punched a male attendant.
“So, the crew had to contain him,” said the brunette.
“They taped him in the seat so he couldn’t move or do anything else,” said the TikTokker. “He started yelling and screaming — people started getting scared.”
Then, troubled hearts really began racing when the man seated directly in front of the troublemaker suddenly jumped up to retrieve an item out of the overhead bin.
“This guy just stands up and proposes,” said Barberino.
“I don’t know if he was thinking, ‘We’re all gonna die, so let me purpose right now,’” she chuckled when recalling the freaky fright. “He literally stands up, got the ring [from] his bag, he got on his knee — he was probably planning to do a romantic thing, but he couldn’t because he probably thought he was gonna die.”
Per her clip, the man’s stunned sweetheart said “yes,” to the delight of their fellow unnerved passengers, who applauded the happy couple as flight attendants strapped the hellion to his seat — and applied a strip of tape to his mouth for good measure.
“When we finally landed, there were about 20 cops waiting for him outside of the plane,” said Barberino. “He’s probably in jail right now.
“It [was] crazy.”
Unfortunately, the mile-high bonehead isn’t the only dope who’s had to be duct-taped due to bad behavior at 30,000 feet.
The sticky tool came in handy for staffers on an American Airlines flight from Milwaukee to Dallas in November when an unruly flyer charged at a flight attendant and tried opening the aircraft’s door while in the clouds.
And in January, an “intoxicated” passenger, a married woman believed to be in her 60s, was taped to her chair after causing a massive disruption on a flight from San Francisco, California, to Fiji.
The tipsy scallawag “caused great distress to all nearby passengers and crew by screaming and yelling abuse,” said a witness to the drama, adding that the woman was “throwing objects such as cups at crew members” and had “slapped the hands of a flight attendant.”
