Am not sure I totally
approve of this chaps actions BUT something needs to be done about pax not following instructions to stay sat until the plane is at a full stop.
Maybe a few pax arrests with attendant publicity?

I saw this too. Seems the guy had a melt down. Planes are dangerous places to have melt downs and it's difficult to be sympathetic when faced with what is, sadly, day to day provocation.

It made me giggle how he grabbed a beer first ...
The guy would have a mental breakdown on a EK flight to India, the whole plane seems to be stood up straight after the wheels touch the tarmac.

Getting OT I know, but Indians do treat things like seat belt rules, sitting down when taxiing etc. as somewhat advisory. I've noticed this on many occasions!

In a similar vein it reminded me of The Onion's "Project Management Leaves Suicide PowerPoint Presentation", one of the most satirically funny Onion stories ever if you're in my kind of professional world.
