Travelling by flight can be pretty stressful. Now imagine this pressure being doubled, because you forgot your bags before boarding the plane. Well, for this one man, his ordeal of forgetting his bag at the airport gate, became everyone else’s nightmare. This Bangkok-bound flight was forced to return back, thanks to this adult man’s tantrum.
Man’s Tantrum Aboard Bangkok-Bound Flight Forces It To Return
An aggressive outburst from a passenger compelled a plane in Thailand bound for Bangkok to return to the gate. The man became furious after realizing that he had left his bag. The bag contained money and valuable items and was left at the Chiang Mai International Airport’s departure lounge.
A fellow passenger captured a video showing the man explaining the situation to the flight staff on board the flight to Bangkok, and his anger escalating rapidly. Even with the crew attempting to calm the man down, he failed to cooperate with the flight staff.
He stuck to his demand that the plane be turned around so he could get his bag from the gate. Even if that meant all the other passengers had to be inconvenienced too. The man was reported travelling with his two friends.

As per reports by The New York Post, the passenger was asked whether he would want to be asked to deboard the plane or wait until he reached Bangkok to resolve the issue. And you guessed it right, the man said he wanted to get off the plane right away.
Forgot Your Bags? Make The Whole Plane Turn Around
Because of the aggressive passenger’s behaviour, the flight had already been delayed by 45 mins and now had no choice but to go back to the gate. Whether the man was arrested or if any action was taken against the man is unclear until now, also said the reports.
I think everyone who was planning to take a trip via flight has just unlocked a new fear. But hey, don’t shoot the messenger. We’re just showing you what kind of passenger you absolutely should not be like. While it is understandable that when you leave something behind, you worry about it. But is it really fair to make an entire plane turn around just because you made a mistake?
In a similar incident, last week, a United Airlines flight heading to Amsterdam had to divert to Chicago due to a disruptive passenger. Allegedly, the passenger was upset because he did not receive his preferred meal choice, causing a me-first airplane ruckus, reported New York Post.
