All I was getting at; was the passenger had the Intent... and that if he wouldn't be able to open them, isn't a mitigating factor (sort of like: someone pointing a gun, but it misfires... - he still intended for the gun to fire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have a few drinks on the plane,(Florida to BKK 24 hours) Would not even dream about making the trip without it, (sleeping medicine in a tasty liquid form) I am not a big, hard liquor drinker and it knocks me out, . after a while I fall asleep, when I wake up we are more than halfway there, Eat something, watch a couple of bad movies and ready for our connecting flight in Japan , Korea, or Hong Kong, (4-5 hrs flight and layover) to get back in shape and get ready for Thailand . .

I guess the next step is drug test for alcohol every passenger prior to boarding and thoroughly search belongings and people. Nothing worse than a drunk on a plane except an airline that doesn't do it's job and endangers other passengers because of it. Ah, I was waiting for some binary ill-informed opinion and you didn’t disappoint. According to best estimates, there were just over 100,000 flights on planet Earth yesterday. Obviously, as a result of a couple of drunk Russians, we really should clamp down on all this drinking nonsense. Please clarify how, whilst undeniably aggravating, a drunk genuinely “endangers other passengers”. If it is a major & recurring issue that requires new legislations, there must be a multitude of specific examples.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardColeman Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think maybe that the passengers should receive world wide airline bans and stamps put in passports to state this too. That way you'd maybe cause trouble going home, but flying to a country and knowing you could possibly not fly home and have to travel 6000 miles on the road , you may think twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthhurts Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 These people need their passports cancelled..forever. They should pay all passengers damages of at least equivalent of their fares plus fines the total cost of flight. No ifs buts or maybes. People seem willing to pardon such people because they are or were drunk. Would they be excused 9f they were high on ice or cocaine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you needto rethink that, at 33,000ft there is less air pressure on the exterior of the aircraft. When a hole appears in the hull of a airplane the pressure inside is released that is why there is a sucking sound. There maybe some other safty measure on the door to keep it from being opened but it is not the exterior airpressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Croc Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I remember this incident in Perth many years ago that was witnessed by thousands on the ground.

Tropposurfer Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Thank God there were some quick thinking brave folks to wrap the dude in cling wrap. As for the drinking saga on the plane, Russia has one of the world's highest statistics of alcohol misuse and alcoholism in the world. I can't tell you how many drunk Russians (and Poms and Aussies) I have seen and met in LOS. I've had it described to me by other clinicians who have witnessed the problems on the ground in Russia as 'plague proportions'. Any culture that sees drinking heavily high alcohol content spirits as a cultural norm will produce serious problems for anyone that comes into contact with such drinking behaviours. I live in a country that sees drinking as normal, manly, a right of passage, where entire partially-state funded events support gatherings of people where alcohol is consumed for days on end by teenagers, a country where getting drunk, and using alcohol at almost every form of social gathering is being a 'true citizen'. The denial in my country amongst many, many people as to the horrendous harm overindulgence of alcohol causes still persists. We have worldwide box office smash hit movies that portray days and days of blackout binge drinking as funny and something to be applauded and rewarded. The social violence, the self harm, the road accidents, the domestic violence, and the huge burden of costs to countries from alcohol misuse is mind boggling.
