Or maybe time in a Bulgarian psychiatric ward?
2. Violent passengers is a common problem in the airline

business. Take away the duty free alcohol and stop serving alcoholic drinks. Boozed up passengers are the problem. Airlines are in the transport business, not the cocktail lounge business.
3. On American domestic flights

If this happens they restrain him and put him in plastic ties. That's what should have happened.
4. #2 not so straight forward
Charlie   (06.05.14)
Actually unlike other airlines ELAL serves a minimum of alcohol on its airline, wine with dinner. If the airline suspects that a passanger is drunk it is policy not to allow that passenger to board the plane, Secondly we all have personal responsibility is someone wants to drink they will find away regardless of cocktail lounges as you so put it. In Ben Gurion there is only wine in the business lounge. In general Israelis are not a nation of drinkers unlike most european countries, Most likely this passenger had mental disorders, which i am sure the police will be investigating
5. german or turk of both ?

I was under the impresion that all el al planes have an undercover security agent on board to take care of this kind of issues. So what happened here?
7. Quite right, #6
Cameron ,   USA   (06.05.14)
Apparently matters can go to Hell as easily on an El Al flight as any other carrier line.
8. #6
Barchama ,   Parallel Universe   (06.05.14)
I was wondering the same. Budget cuts?
9. #6 - Not big enough danger
Ben ,   Chutzlaaretz   (06.05.14)
Guy was causing an annoying commotion, was not a terrorist. Behavior doesn't require an air martial. Landing and dropping with authorities was exactly the correct approach.

1) It was not a German 2) He spoke german. 3) No one had been yelling. 4) Thus that so called "Adi" looks not like to be reliable. 5) With that kind of reporting ynet likes to feed the craving for sensations. 6) With that unprofessional kind of reporting ynet adds fuel to certain prejudice.
