Passenger's Mouth Taped Shut on Fiji Airways Flight After Intoxicated Outburst

A 69-year-old Australian woman caused a significant disruption aboard a Fiji Airways flight from the United States to Fiji. According to the video, the woman became highly intoxicated and aggressive, verbally abusing and physically assaulting flight attendants. The crew's attempts to de-escalate the situation proved unsuccessful, leading them to tape her mouth shut to ensure the safety of other passengers and crew. The video includes actual footage of the event, interspersed with animated sequences. Upon arrival in Fiji, the woman was arrested and fined $400 AUD. This incident underscores the challenges faced by airline crews in managing unruly passengers and highlights the potential consequences of alcohol abuse.
