He went one toke over the air-line.
A passenger was escorted off the aircraft by six cops after he was busted vaping in the lavatory, which resulted in a two-hour delay.
“He was taken off, he was very calm, didn’t argue or anything, no drama,” eye-witness Tristan James Walker, 39, who captured the incident on camera, told Jam Press.
The infraction occurred on July 3 at Edinburgh airport in Scotland aboard a Ryanair flight that was flying to Alicante, Spain. The aircraft was slated to depart at 9:45 am, but was reportedly delayed after a staffer fell ill.
The passengers’ dreams of a smooth flight subsequently went up in smoke after the butt-huffing hellion decided to have an impromptu vape break.
Walker said that the lavatory smoke detector went off, reportedly triggered by said bozo puffing away on his e-cigarette inside like it was an in-flight smoking lounge.
“The pilot then came out after the air stewardess explained what happened, and then the pilot stated he would be removed from the plane,” recalled Walker.
Shortly thereafter, a sextet of authorities boarded the plane and escorted the Vaping enthusiast off the aircraft and into a van on the tarmac, as seen in the viral clip.
Despite being forcibly deplaned, the young passenger reportedly disembarked without a fuss. All told, the incident pushed the flight back by two hours.
Coincidentally, Walker happened to bump into the bozo later at the famous nightlife hub, Calle Gerona, in Benidorm, Spain, whereupon the fellow informed them that he’d reportedly been blacklisted by Ryanair.
Police Scotland spokesperson reported in a statement that the “21-year-old man was charged in connection with an aviation offence.”
This isn’t the first time some tobacco-toking travelers have caused a major flight delay.
Last month, passengers were stranded in a “war zone” at a Maine airport for over 17 hours after their flight was diverted due to a couple of ash-holes puffing cigarettes on board.
