Unruly Passenger Duct Taped to Airline Seat
When one passenger on an Icelandair flight got sloppy drunk and started hitting, screaming and spitting on other passengers, they restrained him and used Duct tape to tie him to his seat for the remainder of the flight to New York.
■Class discussion: Was the unruly passenger threatening the safety of the flight? Were the other passengers correct to tie him up? Can you find other news reports about passengers causing problems on flights? What happened in those cases?
