I can only guess there were no conservatives on that flight to warrant extra surveillance from the air marshals service. DHS complained that there were too many flying to keep tabs on them all with their limited number of Marshals. The seat belts come off to be used as restraints. I guess someone let their inner child out to play with duct tape.
Ok, yes keep the alcohol. It’s not alcohol that makes people crazy ok! Those people are already crazy to begin with. They act that way sober. Don’t ruin things for the rest of us.
I'm old. 50 years ago I was on an evening commuter flight - smoking everywhere, the men getting plastered and grabbing the flight attendants. I started to feel unsafe as a young woman. We had to land elsewhere due to fog and there was no way I was getting on a bus with those guys, they were heading to the bar to kill time. I'll never fly again, it is insanity.
They make it sound like it was in the middle of the flight, I read elsewhere that the plane was already on final approach at around 450 feet above the ground. So it still would have opened. It won't open when you're going 600 miles per hour with 25,000 pounds of pressure.
I was wondering the same. I would think TSA would confiscate for carry on bags. Perhaps the tape and zip ties came from airline staff who keep it on the plane?
What are the chances an air Marshall and security on the flight as a disturbed person? Was he already on a watch list? If an air Marshall was aboard why did a civilian tackle him? I’m glad they made it safely to their destination but I have questions.
Air Marshals are supposed to be anonymous. Why is he having his picture taken? AND Why are you showing the picture? Seems incredibly irresponsible on both his and your part.
I was a flight attendant for over 35 years. Because of the design, you can't open up an aircraft door inflight if the cabin is pressurized. However, he needed to be restrained if he, again, tried to open the door when the plane was on final descent.
Air travel is too dangerous these days. So many psychos! Airlines should require mental and psychological tests for all passengers before they are allowed to buy a ticket or given a boarding pass! There should be a certification or clearance system!
Wrong. The guy is out of control and not stopping. I understand you and your likes are too frightened to help. He was hurting people. Sit tight, while men got this.
@@pep590 Of course the guy needed to be restrained even if there wasn’t any risk that he could open the door. But the risk depends on altitude. On or near the ground he could have opened it. But at cruising altitude he would have to overcome 12 tons of force.
This is how mental health care is handled in the US, by the average US citizen, not the health care system. Awesome American people. Sure wish we could get some professional help though.
no joke when they ask if you wanna be reassigned to a NON-EXIT -DOOR row at the beginning of the flight, eh? does that row of seats come with tiny rolls of duct tape now, too?
Pilots have to have a medical certificate to fly, but it is way past time for passengers to be required to have a mental health certificate prior to flying.
So strange! I travel constantly and have never seen crazy behavior like this. Have seen some run of the mill drunks and nervous fliers. But never this kind of wild nonsense
airport security officials suk, alcohol everywhere you look, too expensive, practically gotta strip off your clothes to get through security, couldn't even carry my water bottle, cramped seating, recycle air breathers until we take off....... lost luggage, rude passengers, bumped flights, no compensation, no accountability....😂sorry triggered.
Some people say Jesus prevented the door from being opened, some say it was the force from the outside wind. All we can say is God bless everyone survived
Some people say that those 3 men fought him off hard and someone had the insight to bring duct tape in their carry on. Some say that. Oh wait! This news video just said it!
lol no one said the wind stopped the door because the wind has nothing to do with it. the door opens inward first not outward so the pressure inside the cabin stopped the door from opening. and that duck tape was probably the ones already on the plane and not ones someone brought. yes airline carry duck tape for this very reason
can cabin doors be opened mid flight? it seems very unlikely that any attempt to open a door whilst aloft would meet with success. on the plus side, any kid kicking the back of your seat, or crying, or otherwise being 'unruly' now gets auto-duct-taped.
No it’s impossible. You would have to be as strong as Superman. The doors are being pushed in place with thousands of pounds of air pressure. You could open them on the ground or near the ground though, where the inside and outside air pressure is the same.
Note to self: pack duct tape
And zip ties !!!!
make sure it’s packed in the carry-on and not the checked bag 😁
Or zip ties
Very sad but true
👍
Flying use to be fun. Now it feels like a crappy cross-country bus ride.
Thats if you're flying Spirit or Southwest. Those airlines are called the Greyhound Bus of the skies.
Not in a true first class
@@chad5893 OMFG 😂
crappy flimsy looking seats too
City bus looking safer
Nice to see Americans working together ❤
So appreciative of the passengers who assisted.
Kudos to the passengers for stepping up. People are sick of these idiots causing problems. Enough is enough.
These people should be charged and should be permanently banned from every US airline
so on other airlines it is okay? none of `your` US people fly on other airlines?
@@1crowwoman😭
I remember flying as a kid when people were dressed up and on their best behavior😢
Same. Those days are gone.
It was a privilege to fly 😢 still is but the majority take flying for granted.
my first flight was in 1977 and the only difference was people were smoking it was casual I wonder how old you are glad to see you're still breathing
Yes! My first flight I remember my mom dressed us up like were going to church! 😂 early 90s😌
Only the rich could afford to fly back then...
Thank you, hero passengers for protecting that flight.
What is it with people these days?
no Lord, no mental health
It's something in the air.
corrupt country making ppl lash out
Untreated mental health due to a broken system that will now stay broken.
@@rawlveeNo just a corrupt orange blob and his cronies...
This guy should be charged with attempted murder of however many people were on the flight.

....duck tape..???
@@dar4061 Oops! My bad. It's Duct.
One charge of attempted murder for every single passenger and crew members

🙄
When I flew frequently in the 1970s and 1980s, this kind of crazy nonsense NEVER took place. Just your average hijackings.
Now it’s like anyone could be a zealot. Back in the day we might’ve just had to make a pitstop in Cuba.😅
There are too many cases of people inexplicably losing their minds on planes lately.
So the Air Marshal didn’t even have handcuffs or zip ties just duct tape?
How many rolls of duct tape am I allowed to bring on a flight anyway? 🤷🏽♂️🤔
I thought the same but looked it up and saw that less than 5% of domestic flights have an air marshal not every flight like many of us thought
@@Bedtimestoryeswow! Guess it’s being your own duct tape…🇨🇦
@@ashleighjaimaosborne3966 mhm. Add that to the list for the family flight. "mommy why we buying duct tape?"

What is it with people flipping out and trying to open the door while in flight?
Panic attacks? I wonder if there’s any difference in the number of such incidents among airlines.
It started in Ernest during Trump’s first term. I’m afraid it’s only gonna get worse in his second.
Demons
Suicide?
@@SS-iw2nqMurder.
In related news, sales of duct tape have skyrocketed. 😅😅😅
Another unhinged passenger. Shocked. Glad they were able to subdue him.
If you're afraid of flying in an airplane why are you getting on an airplane and just freaking out like seriously what is wrong with you people
No more alcohol on planes, and no more at airports. Why do we all have to suffer, so alcoholics can have what they want?
Ok, yes keep the alcohol. It’s not alcohol that makes people crazy ok! Those people are already crazy to begin with. They act that way sober. Don’t ruin things for the rest of us.
Because it makes the airlines money and money is all they care about anymore.
Bring back prohibition... It's not only happening on the plains it's happening on the roads in the cars killing people. Abolish alcohol.
@@philoctetes_wordsworth These people are not alcoholics. They are mentally deranged. Alcohol has nothing to do with it.
Most are drinking long before their flights.
I’ve been waiting for another duct taping 😂
Horrible thing to go through for all the other passengers but it’s an excellent commercial for duct tape

I'll never fly again, it is insanity.
This is so crazy, what the heck wrong with this people
I’m just curious where do they always seem to get the duct tape from 😂
It’s handy for all sorts of stuff, I’m sure they always keep some around.
The ducts
I'm thinking maybe the crew had it but asked the passengers to do the taping so the airline wouldn't get sued?
I always pack some in case my luggage or shoes break
@@MB-qx9vnI will be now as well

Lm**o.
No, it still would not have opened until on the ground below a certain speed.
@@gavinsingh4450 there are videos on youtube of it happening. It just happened earlier this year someone opened it at 650 feet.
Greyhound of the skies!
Is there just duct tape and zip ties on planes or are people flying with these things? Should I be packing these things? lol
yes
I was wondering the same. I would think TSA would confiscate for carry on bags. Perhaps the tape and zip ties came from airline staff who keep it on the plane?
I love how they always have a supply of Alabama Chrome (duct tape) on planes 😂

Why no name or photo? There's no question he did this.
Heroism in action by these citizens!
More like wasted effort, the door would not have opened.
It's funny the passengers definitely did tape the guy
But he only allegedly tried to open the door
Air Marshals are supposed to be anonymous. Why is he having his picture taken? AND Why are you showing the picture? Seems incredibly irresponsible on both his and your part.
Pretty soon breathalyzers will be required before getting on a plane
Good job, Doug! Hope AA gives you some free first class tickets.
I stopped traveling in 2019 just when the world went mad, sadly she hasn't recovered.😮
Seriously we need bigger seats with more leg room and free beverage service with food! If people are enjoying the flight they don’t try to escape!!
So do the airlines carry duct tape on every plane?
Yes they do actually
I know Spirit does. They use it to help patch the plane.
Its part of their training. Chapter 4: "Dealing with unruly passengers".
@TomikaKelly 😂😂😂
Nuts like planes and subways.
I always travel with a fresh roll of duct tape
I will from now on😂
That’s right America 🇺🇸
What tf is wrong with these people. This should be charged as attempted murder
Doug you are a real good man. 👏👏😎
They need to stop selling flights for $100 below to avoid all these crackheads jumping on planes causing hell
So do you think only the poor people are crazy honey no people with money are worse
They don’t? I’ve never seen an international flight below $100.
@@ferretyluv Spirit
Trying to ruin Christmas? Not on Santas watch 😂
So duct tapes are essential items to be packed while flying......
Duct tape is the handyman's secret weapon. ~Red Green
Half of these on flight incidents are alcohol related, breathalyzers must be a pre boarding random check point tool.
I was a flight attendant for over 35 years. Because of the design, you can't open up an aircraft door inflight if the cabin is pressurized. However, he needed to be restrained if he, again, tried to open the door when the plane was on final descent.

Good move. Stop these people right away.
when you train the population with jerry springer, what do you expect in return?
No panic necessary since the doors can't be opened in flight if the cabin is pressurized. Too much force on the doors.
Wrong. The guy is out of control and not stopping. I understand you and your likes are too frightened to help. He was hurting people. Sit tight, while men got this.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. Still a crazy person who needed to be brought under control.
They were on final approach 450 ft another commenter said.
@ Oh that would work then.
When Santa tells you to behave, you better behave!
Totally valid
I miss the days of Pan American and TWA.
Complete insanity! What on earth is the matter with these people??? it's sickening how much of this is going on these days!
FYI the cabin is pressurized and unless they can lift 4000lbs+ it's not going to happen.
Medical check, I hope he meant to say jail time 🙄
This is how mental health care is handled in the US, by the average US citizen, not the health care system. Awesome American people. Sure wish we could get some professional help though.
How do people not know these doors dont open mid flight. Its pressurized so they wont budge.
no joke when they ask if you wanna be reassigned to a NON-EXIT -DOOR row at the beginning of the flight, eh? does that row of seats come with tiny rolls of duct tape now, too?
And given a medical check? How about Doug? He didn’t deserve anything. Who writes your scripts????
What if he needed to use the bathroom after?
Those are plug doors on a pressure vessel. They cannot be opened mid flight with any human strength.
They need to staff security on airplanes and school buses. I think it’s great that the passenger helped but he shouldn’t have had to do that.
Seriously who carries Duct Tape on a flight
Once the airplane is pressurized at altitude a properly installed airline door is impossible to open.
Pilots have to have a medical certificate to fly, but it is way past time for passengers to be required to have a mental health certificate prior to flying.
So strange! I travel constantly and have never seen crazy behavior like this. Have seen some run of the mill drunks and nervous fliers. But never this kind of wild nonsense
Note to self: driving is safer than flying
Aircraft door wont open at 30,000 ft. Its a pressurized cabin . The man pulled on lever of door.doesnt work.pressurization.

Won’t be flying on Delta
So someone is paying for the flight to do this
5 comercials to watch a 2 minute video
it shouldn't be easy to open that door midflight
Last year I started making gift bags for the flight attendants with snickers and duck tape because of these videos!!
Drunk fools think they own the plane.
People are allowed to bring duct tape on a plane?
It’s not sharp. But I do think that the flight attendants have the duct tape.
lesson learned: always put duct tape in your hand luggage ✔️
Well, I understand that using a big ol’ roll of tape is the newest fashion trend.
There needs to be a strick no flight list.
Yikes this makes us not want to fly at this point scary stuff messed up
