‘im going to die i’m going to die’ If he shouting this next to me so much loud i would help him achieve the request.

they have to remain calm and collected to calm him down so as not to scare other passengers, remain assured that they dragged his ass through hell through his hair and balls when the plane touched down…

hmm I’d be curious to know what the full story is and how far along the flight they were.

Poor guy.
I seriously want to know why he (re)acted the way he did.

Got this from Youtube:
I don’t know what happened here. But this happened on my Air Canada plane ride to London, England in December 6th, 2007 from Toronto.
At 3:15 sec he says “f’in white people”. I personally believe that another passenger somehow provoked or encouraged this persons paranoid behaviour.
What is important is that everybody arrived safely.
I am no medical doctor so I have no idea what this man was going through, but I feel that he seemed more concerned for his own safety? I think he was scared. I think it’s a very fascinating phenomenon.
My partner and I decided we should videotape this in the interest of sharing the experience we went through on this plane with those interested.
NEW (My Partner has requested that I add this info that she has written) - Dec 17, 2007:
“I’ve been wanting to avoid making a post about this video, but feel I had to after all the false presumptions I’m reading. I am the “partner” of 2003Tiburon. Clarification #1 He’s a man, and I’m a woman
#2 We kept filming this because we were concerned for the man re: recent Vancouver airport incident
#3 He is not a prisoner being deported. Where he is in the video isn’t his original seat. He was brought to the middle aisle so that he could be better restrained by the man sitting on each side of him. Several plastic cuffs were brought out by the flight attendants almost as soon as the man started yelling
#4 Yes it was scary at times, but the crew and a couple of fellow passengers did an excellent job and I commend them, I also commend the calm nature of my fellow passengers despite the unsettling circumstances.
#5 I was awoken by his screaming, so I’m not positive if he was set off by anyone. I do know that a large white British man would walk by him and antagonize him. This was equally annoying, because it was usually when the man had quieted down.
#6 This man is likely Indian decent, he mentions Muslims, but its not exactly complimentary, HOWEVER I could really care less about this - didn’t matter to me who was screaming - white, Chinese, innu - it would have been equally unnerving.”

Holla please comment on this.
14. Adam | February 18th, 2008 at 9:04 pm
you can tell this idiot is trying to cause panic, look at what hes saying…
i would have taken him out.. like shocked him or something. oh and youssef, there can be up to 3 marshalls on international flights, do it could be 2 u.s marshalls as it appears to be, and not one like u might think it is.

Adam oh yeah definitely I know there could be, but I read it somewhere in an article (I think it was either BBC or CNN) and it mentioned that one of them was an air marshall and the other guy was a volunteer who happened to be sitting next to the Indian guy. If I find the article I’ll post it.

Apparently there were no air marshals on the flight:

No Air Marshalls on the flight? But how did they have the plastic hand cuffs..
Something must have went wrong, but I wonder what happened to him afterwards.
20. 3azeez | February 19th, 2008 at 1:35 am
cool that they remained calm? they should have gagged him and moved him to the back so he wont make other passengers panic.

I’ve seen this on inside edition last week
22. jo | February 19th, 2008 at 9:20 am
my god i would have freeked out, what a bloody idiot!

This was handled very badly by the crew. He is mentally ill and the way he was handcuffed and treated was very immature. This is a very common occurence for people who are highly stressed out. Please go thru the link below for a similar situation but this time it was a Hollywood actress.

The secret police on board KU are a complete farce. For one thing they are so loud and conspicious one would have to be a classified moron to think of them as secret police. I also wonder how comfortable and safe do female flight attendants feel having them about them.
And honestly, I think it’s sickening that vampire should be pleased they beat someone till they broke his hand.
