Rehman Malik thrown off PIA flight by passengers

.
Jealous of what ?

Talk to me when you can write more coherently. Besides, I have already said I am impressed by the passengers.
coherence is what your speech lacked. You started by saying that there is no need to praise this as it has happened before and than you added some praise as if you forgot to put salt in what so ever was cooking inside your brain

but than how come you came up with this advice i mean after all you knew that doors don't open and acts as plug.. that is the very reason i asked you to come up with the answer ...

The door design varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

For example the famous DC-10s didn't have opening doors at all, but rather sliding doors that went upwards in the fuselage. Modern and common airliners like Boeing 737/747/757/767/787/777 etc and Airbus A320/340/A330/A300/A380 have similar designs. The doors open outwards on a hinge, but when they are closed, a rubber seal inflates, causing a strong seal that prevents the door from opening, unless that is unarmed manually. When you are at altitude, the computer monitoring the door won't let you dis-arm the door because it knows it is not safe. Sometimes there are design flaws, sometimes mechanical failures. But modern doors are very much fail proof.

Video: Passengers vent ire at ruling party member for holding up the flight

A video of angry Pakistani airline passengers throwing two lawmakers off a plane for delaying its departure went viral Tuesday, sparking a passionate debate online about the country’s so-called “VIP culture”.

The Monday night Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight from Karachi to the capital Islamabad took off almost two hours late, with a government official on Tuesday confirming the delay was partly due to the late arrival of two politicians.

Senior government and military figures in Pakistan enjoy a host of lavish privileges, from plots of land to heavy police escorts that disrupt traffic. They are often able to keep flights that are ready to depart waiting on the tarmac for their arrival.

But irate passengers on the PIA plane decided to hit back — aiming a string of invective toward Ramesh Kumar Vankwani, a minority Hindu member of the ruling PML-N party, and later at the country’s former interior minister Rehman Malik.

In one of the videos, apparently shot on mobile phone, the passengers can be seen waiting at the door of the plane for Malik. As he walks down the jetway, a man shouts: “Malik saheb (Sir) you should go back. You should apologise to these passengers. You should be ashamed of yourself!

“150 passengers have been put out because of you.”

Another man can be heard saying: “We’ve taken it for 68 years. Are we going to take it another 68?” referring to the country’s age.

The embarrassed politician later turned back. Vankwani left the flight after passengers threatened to beat him with shoes.

Many Pakistanis on Twitter hailed the event as a rare example of ordinary people standing up to the powerful — with some connecting it to the protest movement against government corruption led by opposition leader Imran Khan.

“What a delight to watch the video. Atlast someone stood up & everyone joined. Salute to all those who raised there voice #NotoVipCulture” tweeted user Frasat Mahmood.


Others criticised the abusive language and threats of violence.

Shujaat Azeem, an aide to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said two airport officials were being suspended over the incident.

He said in a statement the flight was delayed for 90 minutes due to technical reasons and it was delayed for another 25 minutes because Malik was late.

Please do note what this paragraph says about VIPs including not just politicians.

Any General would not travel on a normal commercial plane. They have different protocols.

But they are not above the law, right? That is the point that there should be NOBODY above the law for the VIP culture to die out. Nobody.
