Korean Air used electric stun gun on 5 passengers
Korean Air has used electric stun guns on 5 passengers during flights. Korean Air is believed to be the only major carrier to routinely have the weapons on board. The airline is ramping up training for staff using the guns after criticism for the way it handled a recent in-flight disturbance. In that incident, US singer Richard Marx was among passengers who helped restrain an unruly passenger. Afterwards, both Marx and his wife used social media to claim that the crew was "ill-trained". The carrier said it first introduced electric stun guns in 2002. It now carries at least 1 set of weapons on every plane, with 2 sets on its A380 jumbo jets. A Korean Air spokesman said that of the 5 incidents, 3 involved the gun being fired. Korean Air confirmed all took place while the aircraft were airborne. <br/>
