EXCLUSIVE: Passenger describes drunk woman’s strange sexual behavior on flight
A. Isaac Passengers on BMI flight BD896 from Moscow to London got more than they bargained for Friday morning. A Russian woman was allowed to board despite being obscenely drunk in the terminal and exhibiting strange sexual behavior.
Guyism spoke to passenger Daniel Martin of Gloucester, England who gave us the sordid details of the woman’s drunken behavior. Martin even captured some of the wild behavior on video.
The troubles started before take-off, during the taxiing to the runway. She started screaming “My husband wants to kill me” several times, causing the crew to stop the airplane on the taxiway. A steward approached her to check she was okay and asked her if she wanted to leave the airplane. She started to shout abuse in Russian, which Russian-speaking passengers said was extremely offensive. The steward insisted she remained calm. At this point, I, and passengers around me thought that the aircraft would return to the terminal to offload her. However, the crew took the decision to continue to taxi and taxi-off.
During the actual take-off, the verbal abuse continued and she started making sexual gestures to the passengers near to her. Some actually moved seats before the seatbelt signs had been turned off. The passenger who was sat next to her and his teenage son suddenly left their seats after she made a sexual approach to him. She left her seat, grabbed his spectacles and threw them in the aisle. Another man, sat two rows behind then left his seat with the intention of hitting her as she shouted offensive words (in Russian). He was prevented from doing so by a steward and several stewardesses who ran down the aisles to intervene. They demanded she remain seated and allowed the other passengers to move to vacant seats near the rear of the airplane. The gentleman who tried to intervene was told to return to his seat.
Things appeared to be settle down after this incident according to Martin. The flight crew even began to prepare drinks for business class passengers. That’s when the woman rose from her seat and confronted a stewardess in the rear of the aircraft.
She then briefly danced for the stewardesses who were preparing drinks in the rear galley and groped one stewardess’s breasts. The crew demanded she returned to her her seat. She was staggering all over down the aisle as she tried to return, falling into a vacant seat. The crew then aided her to her own seat
Martin added that she also tried to grab a steward’s groin at one point but was stopped short. It was at this time that Martin decided this whole episode needed to be caught on video.
You can clearly see the woman punching the compartments above her and flailing her arms at the flight crew. Several passengers are seen telling the blonde stewardess that the woman needed to be restrained. One man even offers to help them but is sent back to his seat.
Finally realizing that the problem wasn’t ending anytime soon, the entire crew surrounded the woman, held her down, and fitted her with restraining cuffs. The captain instructed the passengers that they would have to make a return trip to Moscow to offload the drunk woman.
Upon landing, the plane was kept on a remote parking stand away until the authorities arrived to remove the woman. And unfortunately for Martin and the rest of the passengers on BMI flight BD896, they were grounded for several hours, awaiting a new pilot and crew in the terminal. Some customers began to make their own arrangements on different airlines, obviously upset about the entire situation (they were only given a 600 rouble food voucher for the inconvenience). The anger spilled over into an airport lounge, and according to Martin, a fight almost broke out as passengers demanded answers from the British Embassy in Moscow.
Eventually, cooler heads prevailed. and everyone arrived in London, some 12.5 hours later, with a wild story that they will soon never forget.
