Photo shows unruly air passenger tied down
2013-01-05
A passenger on an Icelandair flight was tied down by his fellow passengers after going on a rampage Thursday.

According to reports, the passenger began acting up two hours before the flight was set to land. He reportedly had been drinking heavily, and allegedly began ranting, spitting and threatening the crew before he was restrained.

Andy Ellwood, a contributor with Forbes, was aboard the flight and posted a photo to his Tumblr account which quickly went viral.

The passenger was escorted off the flight when it landed at JFK.

#7  Was a little saddened when I saw the Tumblr photo.

They probably would never let me take my personal (and very special) duct tape stash on-board here.

Even if I bagged it separately.

Wonder what the housing costs are in Reykjavik.

#6  Any irony points of a raving drunk landing at Kennedy airport?

La Guardia has had better success with 'water landings'.

#4  And unlike most airlines, the pilot on AP Airlines is very well armed and able to enforce order.

#1  Southwest Air passengers were less kind in a similar situation - sat on the guy and he died.
