- A argument between passengers on a Bangkok-Kolkata flight turned violent.
- The internet wants all airlines to add the people to their no-fly lists.
- The fight has prompted a response from the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security.
These days, incidents with boisterous passengers making a scene on flights are very common. Not so long ago, an IndiGo flight hostess appropriately shushed a passenger for referring to her as a “servant.” The altercation was trending furiously on social media for a while, and now a brand-new altercation is going around the internet like wildfire.
It all began when two passengers on a Thai Smile Airways trip from Bangkok to Kolkata got into a verbal altercation over an unspecified matter. The males began slapping each other within seconds of the debate becoming physical. Twitter users have been responding furiously to the now-viral video, and the overwhelming consensus is to impose a stiff fine and put the passengers in question on a no-fly list for all airlines.
If you haven’t had a chance to watch the video yet, you can do so here:
Not many smiles on this @ThaiSmileAirway flight at all !
On a serious note, an aircraft is possibly the worst place ever to get into an altercation with someone.
Hope these nincompoops were arrested on arrival and dealt with by the authorities.#AvGeek pic.twitter.com/XCglmjtc9l— VT-VLO (@Vinamralongani) December 28, 2022
Millions of people have already watched the film, which has also raised awareness to a much bigger issue involving the safety of the cabin staff and the rise of disruptive passengers.
A Twitter user wrote, “This guy MUST BE IN NO FLY LIST, potential threat to anyone and everyone on board.” Another person added, “This is absolutely barbaric.”
What others said is as follows:
While watching the video many things going in mind 1) safety of passengers 2) disturbance to pilot as flying is a serious business 3) aerodynamics of flight gets disturbed which could be catastrophic 4) Being Indian flying foreign country in a foreign carrier sets bad example.
