Text 3 Air Rage
Air rage is the general term for disruptive and/or violent behaviour of passengers and crew of aircraft, typically during flight.
Unlike ground vehicles, airplanes enter altitudes where changes in air pressure can help trigger temporary psychological changes, such as enhancing the psychoactive effects of chemicals like alcohol which is typically served on board.
Once an Air Canada flight from Toronto to London was disrupted by a passenger who began shouting in an apparent case of “air rage”. During the apparent panic attack, a man identified as “Jay” indicated fears that he was about to be shot to death, in addition to uttering obscenities and racist comments. He was restrained by several members of the flight crew and the flight landed safely at Heathrow Airport. Authorities did not place the passenger under arrest in London, and Air Canada indicated there was no danger from this outburst.
Luckily Trans-Atlantic “air rage” incident ends safely.
