The biggest problem in this day and age is not climate change or plastic pollution. It seems to be the utter lack of flight etiquette. Amid the recent Air India pee-gate scandal blaring every TV screen and social media handle in the country, there seems to be yet another flight fiasco. This time, a shirtless man is seen punching his co-passenger in mid-air on the Biman Bangladesh flight. Here’s more about it.
A shirtless passenger is seen throwing punches at a co-passenger in the latest video. People are also seen assaulting him back in a bid to contain the unruly passenger. The 27-second clip shows a shirtless man standing and jostling with a passenger who is seated and not visible. The seated passenger slaps the shirtless man repeatedly and he responds by throwing punches. Other passengers try to intervene and hold the man back. One suited person grabs him by the throat.
The shirtless man who appears to be in his 20's seems very upset and is engaging in a physical clash with another passenger seated in the front seat. It appears that the shirtless man is fighting over some possession or the seat. He is first seen trying to pull something from the grip of the seated passenger and when he fails to do so, he gets angry. The seated passenger, who is not visible in the video then slaps him and the man becomes angrier. Other passengers get to him in time and manage to stop him. Flyers are heard asking people seated around him to hold him. The intervention by the passengers around prevents the fight to escalate further.
The shirtless passenger also appears to be crying. The man seated in the back seat is seen actively disengaging them. Before the fight takes an ugly turn, other flyers hold the upset man and the video ends there. The video is allegedly from a flight of the Biman Bangladesh airlines. However, no details could be confirmed about the time, date, exact airlines and flight where the incident took place.
Earlier, a viral video of passengers fighting onboard a Bangkok-Kolkata flight of Thai Smile airways had created a storm on social media around the end of 2022. The incident had reportedly occurred when one passenger refused to adhere to safety instructions given by the cabin crew. The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) had taken cognizance of the video and initiated an inquiry. The airline had later issued an apology for the incident.
