Richard Marx 80’s and 90’s music star had a wild airplane ride. The pictures looks like a Keystone Cops film. Stewardess has a Taser she doesn’t know how to use. They tie the guy up three times and he gets free. 4 hours of craziness.
Btw, why is that other Stewardess holding a credit card (or some small object) in that Taser photo? It’s too small to be a smart phone.
Glad Richard and Daisy are OK.
TMZ has a report and photos that Richard posted. Richard’s video hasn’t been released yet.
Here’s a better photo of the Taser. I’d swear that’s a credit card that other lady is holding. You can make out the embossed letters. https://www.instagram.com/p/BOPJdvCD4qh/
I don’t know what that lady is holding in the bottom left photo. Maybe the cell phone cover? It’s flat and facing the camera. You don’t hold a phone sideways like that.
So Korean Air’s idea of restraints is to leave some rope for the air crew? Why wouldn’t they just have given them handcuffs or those wire tie restraints? Why depend on someone on board having been a boy scout or a sailor?
I’m not sure what you mean. Restraints for unruly passengers are standard equipment on all flights, as far as I know. My point was merely that a length of rope isn’t a good solution for this. Hospitals have restraints that use buckles and could perhaps be secured to the passenger seat. There are also handcuffs or those wire tie restraints some police officers carry.
You should know better than to rely on gear your crew is not trained to use, regardless of why the gear is there. If your crew can’t use it, it’s dead weight or, worse, an outright liability.
If the airline trains its crew to subdue and restrain people by lassoing and hog-tying, fine. That’s deeply unusual and probably a [del]case of deep-seated fetishism[/del] really bad idea, but if the crew’s trained to use rope, rope is what you store. If the crew doesn’t know how to use rope, which seems more likely, why the Hell would you have rope for them to use?
