THIS is the startling incident where an intoxicated individual is removed from a flight after throwing up on a fellow traveler just before departure.
Video from inside the cabin captured the troubled man appearing utterly confused as he leaned against the seat in front of him.
This unpleasant event occurred on an EVA Air flight traveling from Taiwan to Austria, a long 13-hour trip.
The clip was recorded by another passenger who was alerted to the chaos on May 25.
In the video, the boozed up man is seen standing and hunched over the seat in front of him.
Desperate flight attendants attempt to pull him out of his seat – but the man does not move an inch.
He then tries to sit back down again, and manages to do so while the dumbfounded crew watch on.
A security guard in a high vis jackets is even seen next to the man before crew try to lift him up again.
Some of the flight attendants removed his rucksack and took it away.
He eventually gets up, still appearing to be absolutely out of it.
Fellow passengers reportedly saw the man with an empty bottle of whisky.
It is unclear who exactly he threw up on, or whether the victim was able to clean himself up properly.
One of them told local media: “The cabin door was already closed, and then that person started vomiting.
“There was an older man on his right, and when he saw him vomiting, he immediately stood up.”
They added: The flight attendants later helped move that older man’s seat, but that whole row was then blocked off and no one could sit there.”
Staff later forced the man to get off the flight so they could clean the seat.
After that, the plane was allowed to depart for its long 13-hour trip.
But it was delayed by about half an hour, according to What’s The Jam.
Pilots made up for the lost time while in the air, and actually managed to land in Vienna, Austria, on time.
The witness onboard also said: “It smelt heavily of ginger duck with lots of alcohol.
“He probably drank it before boarding.”
They added: “His friend wasn’t asked to get off, only he himself was removed.”
