rooster59 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Video: Passenger kicked off Thai Smile flight for saying “bomb” A Thai woman was thrown off a Thai Smile plane after cabin crew heard her say the word “bomb”. The flight, number WE137, was moments from taking off at Chiang Rai airport on Friday evening when the woman was overheard saying “bomb” by one of the flight attendants who reported it to the captain who in turn contacted the police. A video of the incident was shared on the Kapook Facebook page. The incident meant the flight, which was destined for Suvarnabhumi, took off 35 minutes later than scheduled. Kapook reported the woman was travelling with her foreign husband. Kapook also said that the woman and her foreign husband had earlier become annoyed when cabin crew asked to see their boarding passes. There was no information on if the woman was charged over the incident. Source: Kapook -- © Copyright Thai Visa News 2017-06-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the word ''foreign'' being used before husband to imply that somehow this foreigner has caused her to act in such a manner. Pesky foreigners.

darksidedog Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 What the story doesn't tell us and that the video doesn't show, is the context of how the word was used. There is a big difference to the word being overheard in conversation, as in "When I fly I am always scared of a bomb.", and jumping to your feet and screaming "BOMB!"

Or perhaps her husband asked her how the birthday party she attended the previous evening turned out, to which she replied, "Oh, it was the bomb!"

I think it would be pretty naive by now not to realise that at least it's implied that certain words such as this should not be spoken in any context on board an aircraft.

IMA_FARANG Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 There have been similar incidents in the U.S. in the past. The most notable one was some years ago during a spate of hijacking of U.S. plane flights to Cuba. A famous celebrity in U.S. sports, whose name I won't reveal, asked a flight attendant if she had any good cigars for sale. Her answer was No. Then the passenger jokingly said, "Well that's O.K. , maybe I will just pick some good cigars in Havana while we are there'. As a plane had been hijacked to Cuba less than a week earlier, the security on the plane was not amused by hat comment, and the flight was delayed until all the passengers were searched and cleared. That is a true story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you fly, don't talk about bombs, ISIS and all that shit. Easy as that. And if you have a tourrete syndrome, please get a medical certification and let the cabin crew know it.

wanderluster Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 what the video does show is how tightly spaced the seating is on thai smile. I know at 184 tall i can not fit in the seats and be able to have my knees in front of me without being half way up the seat in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesimps Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I'm sure if she'd said it in any other context her explanation would have stopped her being thrown off. No, she was probably trying to be sarcastic because she had a strop on. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee, aren't you supposed to be limited to only "one carry on" per passenger? You must be immersed in a book when waiting to take off. I've yet to see any passenger stopped for bringing too much hand luggage on board, and plenty of them do, way too much, way over the limit. Then they blithely take up space in other bins, leading some passengers to store their own bags far away from where they are sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joy16 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I don't know why this news is different from Thai smile statement. In the statement, they mentioned that the foreign husband said "I'm not terrorist" when FA asked to see his boarding pass and "I'm terrorist, this (their carry-on baggage) is bomb" when FA offer to stored their luggage into the overhead bin. The Thai wife didn't say anything. Sent from my F8332 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
