On the same day, on a Thai Lion Air flight scheduled to take off from Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok, an overweight male passenger made a scene in the cabin. It is reported that,Because he was dissatisfied with the small space of the economy class seat, he forcibly requested to be transferred to the emergency exit seat. After being refused, he started making a fuss in the cabin. He was eventually tied up with a rope by the police and forcibly dragged away from the plane, causing the flight to be delayed for nearly an hour.
Video from the scene showed the passenger, wearing an orange Garfield-patterned shirt, complaining to the flight attendant that the window seat was too narrow and asking to be moved to an emergency exit seat with more legroom.
After being refused by the crew, the man lay down directly in the middle of the aisle, blocking passage, affecting the normal boarding and takeoff process.
Witnesses said that at first they thought someone was suddenly ill, but later they found out it was a dispute over a seat. Since he refused to cooperate, the crew had no choice but to call the police.
Several police officers then boarded the plane to deal with it. After repeated attempts to persuade him to no avail, they tied him up with a rope and worked together to lift him out of the cabin. The scene was quite comical.
The man's riot aroused dissatisfaction among the passengers on the same plane. In the video, a British female passenger can be clearly heard scolding him, "You are too selfish." At the same time, there were also people watching and criticizing the whole process.
