A drunk passenger attempted to open an emergency exit mid-flight on an EasyJet flight, while the crew tried to stop him and became intoxicated on whiskey in the process.
A group of holidaymakers flying from Gatwick to Kos got their holiday off to a less than spectacular start when one of the passengers became angry on the plane.
In a shocking clip, which appeared on TikTok, families were left shocked as the drunk passenger caused chaos on flight EZY8235 on Tuesday afternoon.
According to reports, passengers were terrified and on the edge of their seats as the brazen idiot smashed the onboard intercom and fought with cabin crew.
According to The Sun, the drunk passenger branded the pilot a “rubbish” after the plane hit some turbulence and then decided to take over the aircraft at 30,000 feet.

The incident occurred shortly after police escorted a drunk passenger off a flight to Dalaman after he was forced to make a U-turn on the runway at Manchester Airport.
Passengers on the June 22 flight watched as Jet2 staff were forced to abandon take-off and return to the gate, where police removed the allegedly drunk man from the plane.
Video footage has been posted on social media showing three police officers in the hut.
The passenger, who was wearing black sunglasses and a neck pillow, was initially sitting and then standing when the police officer asked him: “Do you have any hand luggage with you?”

A flight attendant replied, “Yes, I’ll get them for you.”
The officer looked at the man who was about to be removed from the plane and said, “We might need them.”
As police and the flight attendant made their way to collect the man’s carry-on luggage, he turned to the disgruntled passengers and appeared to hold his hands up.
The man said, “Sorry, everybody, sorry.”
However, his apology was not appreciated by everyone and someone says: ‘You’re not sorry at all, mate.’
The man quickly replied, “I’m sorry, I really am.”
A woman who appeared to be with the vacationer stood up and turned to help him exit the plane, which was then delayed by 24 hours, according to social media.
