With the cardboard-enriched food, dwarf-size bathroom stalls and those adorable mini bottles of liquor, flying on an airplane can be an exciting and unpredictable world. But never more so than when playing the mandatory Russian roulette–esque game of "Who will sit beside me this time?" Sure, you could end up next to a Christina Hendricks lookalike or a kindly Betty White type, but you could also end up next to an individual who's three times removed from sanity.
We were inspired by the nutty antics of one such individual (left) to create this post.
Continue reading to see videos of some of the most outrageous plane footage ever.
Crazy Airplane Lady Lets Loose While Landing
Imagine being the guy wearing the white shirt in this video. He probably got off the plane, called 20 of his closest friends and relayed the story of the crazy airplane lady who shouted outdated phrases like, "Right on!" and "Chip off the old block" while the plane landed. Nobody would have believed the outrageousness of the situation if it weren't for the video footage captured.
Man Experiences Panic Attack, Thinks He's Dying
If you're not afraid of flying yet, we strongly encourage you to not view this video. When a man starts screaming, "I'm going to die!" and "Help me!" like he really means it, visions of Devon Sewa in "Final Destination" come to mind. We can only assume this dude is having a severe panic attack -- one of the extremely frightening variety.
Drunk French Man Cheers On Flight Attendant
This poor flight attendant is forced to duke it out with an inebriated French man in this video. In addition to shouting various French sentences at her while she's giving safety instructions, he also decides to serenade the entire group of passengers. If we didn't know any better, we'd think this was a sporting event.
Parent Places Child in Overhead Compartment
Although a tiny part of us can't help but cheer on the man in this video (hey, kids on a plane can be a nightmare!), it's still wrong on a lot of levels. Watch as he nonchalantly places his child in the overhead compartment, much to the chagrin of the nearby flight attendant and other passengers.
Naked Guy Refuses to Put on Clothes, Causes Emergency Landing
We have to include this ditty in the round up, even if it is a news report after the fact. There's pictures of the naked man on the flight, who refused to get dressed even after the flight crew insisted several times. Fortunately, a police officer and deputy were on board to rescue passengers from his exposed man parts.

One time when coming home from Tokyo, I had to sit next to a girl coming off of her medication...for 9 hours. She ran around the plane, and eventually had to be restrained. Originally she wasn't sitting next to me, but as I have been trained as a youth councilor, I offered to listen to her and swap seats.
for 9 hours, it was the most interminable line of questioning. Things like "Am I in trouble" Yes. "Are there gonna be cops there?" probably. "Will they rape me?" No, unless things in America have REALLY gone south since I left. "Will there be dogs there?" Possibly. "Will they let the dogs rape me?" GOD no. Look lady, you're just feelin funny because you forgot to take yer meds. Just sit down and relax would ya.
I could go on, because believe it or not, it gets worse, but you get the point.

This story, while disturbing, made me giggle uncontrollably.

I don't understand why someone didn't dot Frenchies' eye. This is obviously the pre-take off safety talk. Showing a life preserver means they will most likely be travelling over water. Can you imagine being on the same flight with this asshat for more than :30 seconds?

The woman in the plane-landing video is not drunk. She may be, and very likely IS, suffering from schizophrenia or a similar mental disorder. The social stigma of such an illness is sad and often overlooked. The man seated next to her handled with dignity and non-judgement, as should be done. The idiots in the adjacent seats, crippled by their own ignorance, insensitivity, and FEAR of anyone different, their childishly rude attitude AND the totally disresectful, invasive and heartless act of posting their little amateur video in the name of purported "humor" for their own EGO-fueled (look how "normal" and "sane" WE are!) speaks far more deeply of their OWN far FAR more tragic state of mind . Idiots, pure and (very) simple.

You're a COUNSELOR? REALLY???? (First off, good idea to learn how to spell it). Good start, in offering to sit with her and listen. But your subsequent reaction ("Look lady, you're just feelin funny because you forgot to take yer meds. Just sit down and relax would ya," is atrocious, and completely disqualifies you for counseling of any kind. Find another field before you do serious damage.

I'll admit, I fear flying, especially after being evacuated from a plane on 9/11... Subsequently, the entire airport was evacuated (CLE). Everyone, I mean flight attendents, pilots, airport employees and even the Jehovah Witness ladies were evacuated from CLE. I still have the newpaper that I got for free, dated 9/11 and a receipt for a souveneer that I bought. I mean, we were on the tarmac, the doors were closed and even the pilot didn't realize the magnitude of the situation! He said that we could stay on board, or go back inside the airport, but we'd have to go back through security if we did. Soon, cell phones were ringing, here and there, and when word spread of what had occurred, I got up and grabbed my briefcase and said, "This is not going to be a short layover" and we all started and quiet and somber exit from the plane. I went back to the Jehovah Witness stand and stood there looking out the window, in a daze. Then, a man behind me was using his cell phone and confirmed what I couldn't quite believe. New York had been hit. Seconds after that, still stunned, they announced that we must evacuate the terminal. We all walked for over a mile in the hot sun toward the nearby interstate. Some were crying, some were ushering, some were just dazed (me). I went back to my friend's home in Parma and just layed on a matress, downstairs, for hours. I didn't want to watch the TV. Four days later, I landed in St. Louis. As I exited STL's terminal, I saw an F-18 (we build 'em) scream into the sky, right over my head and give a little twist of his tail, as he changed course and began patrolling the sky's over St. Louis. I have never felt so relieved and safe, as when I saw that F-18, strutting his stuff and going out on the prowl. It was a Saturday, cooler in STL and I had goose bumps, not from the coolness, but from seeing an F-18 at close range, guarding me. It felt like God's hands were around me, saying, "It's going to be OK, Mike." After I got home, I filed an FBI report of what I'd observed as I boarded the plane... I was the last person on board, running late. They closed the door behind me, because they were already running close to schedule. We were cleared for take-off, at the exact same minute that President Bush grounded the North American airspace. One more minute and we'd been in the air, just as the flight that dove-tailed back (the one where the passengers overpowered the hijacker) and crashed in the woods; it was in CLE airspace, when we were evac'ed form the terminal. The sickest, strangest feeling that I've ever experienced. That's it... My FBI report concerned confidential observations, which no one needs to know, not on Asylum.
While some antics can be "funny," this one shook me badly, until I saw that F-18 and I was so proud! We build 'em, we test 'em, we are St. Louis and we prayed, that day.

I have to agree with jg. No jt her actions were a mental illness. The lady laughing was immature and uninformed about mental illnesses. Putting it on here as funny perpetuates stupidity.

I love the news report about the man on the flight who took off his clothing, was unresponsive when confronted, and finally had to be restrained with hand and leg cuffs.
It would've been better had someone captured some video, but the payoff comes in the television news report, 23 seconds in, when the woman reporting on the story starts off by responding to the news anchor with:
"DICK, no one knows what 51 year old Keith Wright was thinking when he decided to take off all of his clothes..."

I'm 77 years old and I don't recall hearing or reading about anything like this happening until the internet was started. It now is a small World. Lots of interesting stories.
