Intoxicated passenger forces emergency landing on easyJet flight

Dante-esque scenes unfolded on the easyJet airplane from Gatwick Airport to the Greek island of Kos. A drunk and aggressive passenger attacked the crew and later attempted to open the aircraft's doors. The situation became incredibly dangerous, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Munich.

Passengers flying on the easyJet flight to Greece experienced a nightmare when the disruptive man caused the flight to be interrupted. Intervention by the authorities was necessary. The drama took place on Tuesday, 3rd September.

The rowdy and drunk passenger first destroyed the onboard intercom, got into an argument with the crew, and called the pilot of flight EZY8235 "trash." But that wasn't all.

After the plane had passed through a turbulence zone, the man decided to attack the crew and then attempted to open the aircraft door.

Forced to make an emergency landing in Munich, the crew, along with a passenger, subdued the disruptive man as the plane approached the ground. The hero was applauded by the remaining travellers.

The aggressive man was detained by German authorities. On an available recording online, you can hear other passengers calling him a "loser" as he was being led off the aircraft.

Additionally, the flight from Gatwick to Kos was delayed by 24 hours. The man may face severe punishment for his actions. Representatives of the UK Civil Aviation Authority indicate that the aggressive passenger could be fined up to £5,000 and face up to two years of imprisonment.

This was a very sad, depressing experience. I wouldn't want to go through it again," said one of the passengers of the ill-fated flight in an interview with metro.co.uk.
