There was a harrowing scene at Dublin Airport when the drunken guy caused a rampage after he missed his flight. Filmed for a viral clip, the topless man, clad in black jeans, smashed furniture at the airport, hurling chairs around and destroying the bag size-checking machines around the departure area. He had a moment of awareness of the camera capturing him and flexed and then resumed his rampage.

Security staff stepped in and overpowered the man. The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) confirmed the passenger was drunk, missed his flight, and responded aggressively, causing extensive damage to the airport property. The DAA’s statement further stated, “Airport Police at Dublin Airport responded to an incident in Terminal 1 this morning which resulted in a male individual being arrested.”. The drunken passenger traveled to the airport, missed his flight, and then went on to inflict massive damage on our airport.” They also wished for the legal system to act on the matter, stating, “We hope the justice system treats him appropriately and also that we never see him at Dublin Airport again.”
The man was detained and charged with criminal damage and will appear before a Dublin court.
In another viral incident earlier this year, a stunning video captured a disruptive passenger trying to open the emergency exit door during a flight on Korean Air. The incident created panic among passengers but was quickly contained by the cabin crew, who intervened and subdued the passenger before it could turn into a disaster
