Fiji Airways cabin crew restrain and put tape over the mouth of disruptive passenger
A drunk and disruptive passenger on a flight from Fiji had her mouth taped up by a flight attendant after refusing to calm down. A video taken on the Fiji Airways flight from San Francisco to Nadi shows cabin crew restraining her and putting tape over her mouth. The woman, identified in a Fijian court as an Australian, can be heard yelling and being abusive in video posted on Facebook. Cabin crew are talking to the woman, and at one point she yells: “Don’t touch me”. In some of the video the woman appears to have clear tape over her mouth, but is still yelling. A flight attendant is seen holding a roll of tape, and leaning over the abusive woman. There is a sound of tape being ripped off the roll, and the attendant appears to place the tape over the passenger’s mouth, although a headrest obscures part of the video. The incident happened on Fiji Airways Flight FJ871 that left San Francisco on January 18 (local time) and arrived in Nadi on January 20, News.com.au reported.<br/>
