It's not really OP's fault. That is the actual tittle of the article. So, I guess blame it on The Chicago Tribune.

Are we looking at the same article?

 

[bloodforge]

Even if its unlikely he could have opened the door its better not to take that chance.

 

[Daedardus]

Well, maybe a wine bottle wasn't the best option, but it does make one big misleading thread title.

Wonder what made him go haywire.

 

[kirblar]

A good alternative title: "Delta flight attendant breaks wine bottle over FLORIDA MAN's head"

 

[milanbaros]

¯_(&#12484_/¯ He was trying to open the door, I don't really condone smashing glass over someone's head, but I absolutely can't condemn them over doing something like that when the passenger was trying to open a door and was assaulting other staff and passengers.

The door wouldn't open at that altitude though, it would take superhuman strength.

 

[danthefan]

The fuck with the thread title?

The door wouldn't open at that altitude though, it would take superhuman strength.

Would high pressure in the plane vs low pressure outside not mean the door should open?

OP's title is missing unruly

 

[RedBaron17]

Meh, I guess they could have written "Unrully pax tried to open plan door while inflight crew breaks wine bottle on his head to stop him". Leaving out why the bottle was used is kinda misleading.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

That wine bottle was no angel.

All doors open inwards even if just a bit before opening outwards. It's impossible to open.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Holy crap what a scary experience.

Ah I see. Reassuring I guess.

Always love how people who post threads with blatantly shitty titles conveniently disappear from their own thread.

 

[Instro]

Did OP read their own article, or is just looking for reactions? Lol

Really? I tottaly condone it. Applaud it even. Give that FA a medal and a raise.

 

[Mato]

OP, of all the things that happened on that flight your takeaway was the attendant's reaction?

 

[decisions]

lol what the hell is this title. Interesting read, glad they got the best of this asshole.

 

[Mivey]

It's even funnier, when they don't. Though that might just be really good satire.

 

[RinsFury]

Holy fuck. The wine bottle seems entirely justified given that unstoppable maniac. Damn.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I want him to go nuts in the court room ending when the judge breaks a vodka bottle over his head.

 

[psychowave]

Oh

Wait, IV? Is that a common naming convention in the US or is this guy just from a really pretentious family?

 

[Boylamite]

That's the takeaway? They hit him on the head? Seriously?

 

[m0dus]

Talk about flying the unfriendly skies

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...-flight-attendant-assault-20170707-story.html

OP, reading comprehension an issue? Or were you just glossing over the fact that the 'victim' was deranged as fuck?

....

Holy shit, OP, were you the passenger?

 

[cameron]

Ahahaha, much better title.

 

[Boylamite]

Lol @ new title

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Terrifying..

Thing is, it's not actually possible to open the emergency exits while the plane is in the air.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Where was the air marshal? Isn't there supposed to be one on every flight?

 

[Monocle]

Much better title lol.

 

[MUnited83]

"Stop"? Aren't those things like literally impossible to open mid-flight? Dude wouldn't have ever been able to open it, he wasn't "stopped" from doing it.

 

[Tom Nook]

Where was the air marshal? Isn't there supposed to be one on every flight?

"Passengers" helped.

 

[Nepenthe]

According to one flight attendant, "Hudek did not seem impacted by the breaking of a full liter red wine bottle over his head, and instead shouted, 'Do you know who I am?' or something to that extent," the complaint said.

I've actually been in tears laughing at this for the past 10 minutes. Good on the flight attendants.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

"Passengers" helped.

Fuuuuuuck now I feel dumb

 

[Daedardus]

Thing is, it's not actually possible to open the emergency exits while the plane is in the air.

Is that true for all circumstances? Because if it is totally not possible, there would have to be a mechanism to prevent it. Which can fail in case of a crash or other incident, locking everyone in. Or do you just mean the air pressure being too high inside to open the door?

 

[Walter White Walker]

Where was the air marshal? Isn't there supposed to be one on every flight?

No. That would be insanely expensive to implement.

 

[BronsonLee]

Thing is, it's not actually possible to open the emergency exits while the plane is in the air.

You really wanna make that bet when you're in the air?

 

[alatif113]

Theres no lock on the door. Its impossible to open because of the pressure of I recall correctly.

 

[Marvie_3]

Really? I tottaly condone it. Applaud it even. Give that FA a medal and a raise.

This. Florida Man got what was coming to him.

[OrlanisWorks]

Florida Man is fucking insane. I would've been fine if someone stabbed him. He was risking every damn life on that plane, right?

Good on them passengers and FA.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

Tampa Represent . Man I hope OP was just trolling because if his attention span and reading comprehension are that bad then i worry for him

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

No. The cabin pressure differential with the outside air makes it impossible.

I was on a flight once where the guy behind me kept joking with the flight attendant about opening his exit row door mid-flight. "Will it kill us all?", etc.

It soon got to the point where an Air Marshall had to sit next to him.

 

[gutter_trash]

ban alchohol on flights and at airports.

install a breathalizer at the gate barring drunk beligerants from entering the plane.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

What was the original title?

 

[Mimosa97]

No. The cabin pressure differential with the outside air makes it impossible.

What about all those scenes in movies where the villain opens the door mid-flight and jumps with a parachute?

 

[Eusis]

Unfriendly skies? Sounds like the guy got exactly what was coming to him. I might have done the same if I was a flight attendant.

Misleading thread.

He's what made it unfriendly. That one jerk that ruins things for everyone else. Even if he couldn't open the door he made a wild scene and mess that everyone was locked with until the plane landed.

 

[EGM1966]

"Stop"? Aren't those things like literally impossible to open mid-flight? Dude wouldn't have ever been able to open it, he wasn't "stopped" from doing it.

Irrelevant. Nobody's going to calmly sit around when someone goes violently berserk at cruising altitude and is trying to open the door. The attendants had to restrain him whatever his chances: they're not going to jump in the intercom and reassure everyone to ignore the violent crazy and advise them to also ignore him tearing at the door because he won't get it open.

You go nuts at altitude you get subdued. Anything else is simply too risky and unfair on the rest of the passengers. Every flight will have people who are fearful of flying: imagine how much they must have enjoyed someone trying to pull the door open.
