Oh, I missed the part where the dude was throwing water bottles at him. The fuck?
Ok, yeah, he was asking to get them hands, then.
And, honestly, if he was throwing water bottles at a passenger on the plane, he should have been removed from the flight, post haste.
Like, I'm not a fan of planes. It stresses me out every time I do. I can imagine a scenario where I might lose my temper when I otherwise wouldn't if someone was being super obnoxious, ignoring my attempts to de-escalate, and kept harassing me while I was on a plane. My stress levels would already be elevated since I hate flying, and really just want to get the flight over with.
I'm no expert, but I feel like they have to be. My uncle was escorted off a plane once, because he had a panic attack and freaked out, so you'd think a passenger actively harassing another passenger would be enough for them to spring in to action.
