Video shows woman duct-taped to seat after trying to open airplane door | New York Post

An apparently unhinged woman was duct-taped to an airplane seat last week after she allegedly attacked the flight crew and tried to open the door of the aircraft in midflight.

Video posted on social media showed the gray-haired woman with silver duct tape over her mouth, and her arms and body seemingly taped to the seat.

Can't believe there are people defending the woman's actions. Having anxiety or a mental illness does not grant you immunity from accountability, especially when your actions endanger the lives of others.

I’m sorry if the choice was duct* tapping a woman to a chair or dying because of an open door in air you better bet we should duct tape a woman.

[bobby-ovqn]

Justice served. No coke and peanuts for her.

[elainebines]

How on earth did she remain 'balanced' enough to check in?

[dougweems]

It’s that the same tape that holds the plane together

[benjaminrapp]

I'm glad AA is backing up their crew. Nowadays, most jobs would fire you with extreme prejudice for doing such a thing, even though it was necessary for the safety of the crew and passengers.

My dad always would say "duct tape fixes everything"

[lazysusanspodcast]

This doesn’t even seem real. It’s like we’re living in a cartoon world. Glenn, we need to talk about this on the podcast XD

Your seat may be used as a restraining device.

Capt: Emergency landing, unruly passenger
Passengers: Keep flying Capt, we got this!!

[geemanbmw]

Why didn't everybody get in line and wail on her with different instruments to her face like in the movie Airplane 🤣

[conniechloe]

She saw the monster on the plane wing, just like William Shatner did.

To show you the power of Flex Tape

I restrained this loony to her seat with only Flex Tape

[ratavernier]

For those who thought that what the crew did here, was unreasonable. You OBVIOUSLY were not one of the passengers whose life was endangered by this unhinged woman!!

[frogsplease]

If you freak out in a plane, you’ll be taped to the seat. Remember that.

[EchoBravo]

All of the passages should have taken a turn, like Airplane the movie.

[reema-qrlt]

They did the right thing to keep everyone on the plane safe the lady is crazy and needs help the airplane company should not get any backlash at all if anything they should be thanked by everyone on that plane.

[Gabsengeii]

Man, I hope she learned her lesson and won't ever mix alcohol with meds ever again. Talk about embarrassing.

[davomontgomerydard]

At the rate this has been occurring, a couple more years and 85% of all commercial airplane seats will have white sticky duct tape residue.

The lady sounds like a Broken Record player. You! You! You!
Yeah I get it, shut up Lady before I pull Your Batteries Out.
