Did Super Mario issue an apology or is he trying to justify his actions?

He is claiming he saw drunk passengers LOL.

Lets make one thing clear: You only speak for yourself. You don't speak for the rest of the passengers on the plane.

All the disagreement aside, I congratulate you on doing the right thing, but I would like to see what you would do if Nawaz Sharif's daughter was there. Step aside and bow? or Kick her out too?

Would you like to get their opinion too? Because they will all be giving them soon and NO one will be crediting Imran Khan.
If anything, its the power of the cellular phone and social media that is at work.

The same would be done to a General or Kulsoom Nawaz, the problem with all wannabe revolutionaries is that they are ready to follow their pied pipers but question anyone else because their pied piper is a Rasool to them.

Meanwhile across the border, Pakistan gets praised as a nation who broke VVIP culture, in India. From Social media to mainstream media, the news is everywhere!

glad to see the hash-tag...its quite fitting

Guys, I am so delighted to see this, despite being from other side of the border; 'coz we too share similar kind of pains and heavily affected with this high handed culture prevailing all over. Someone just needs to stand up ! Kudos. Wish such thing gets momentum in India too.

Oscar I mean seriously, is that you who took this video ? As I scrolled thru this thread, I thought its just prank (on a lighter note) you are stating. But seriously, a bow N TIMES. Feudal mindset must be crushed down.

Look at the description of the video on dailymotion - oscar made it clear where the Passenger can be contacted -i.e oscar @ PDF

Rounded it up to 100 thanks. Brilliant work by the passengers.

Although it doesn't matter who or how this all started it is great to see the positive and encouraging reaction of the whole Nation (and ppl from other countries) .. however, at least in my view this kind of public reaction was impossible to imagine before the 14Aug Azadi March and Inqelab March protests .. none the less i hope the change is permanent and the awareness should become National.

@Oscar
looks like this is the first time I've ever agreed with you!

This is a proud moment for Pakistan!

Thanks for posting!

All 150 passengers were drunk?!

Kuch tho Khuda kha kouf kero RM!

The question is not of whether the massive support is because of PTI or social media or Zakoota Jinn.
The point in focus is that such reactions have happened before, but people have reached a tipping point to the extent that they will not tolerate anyone.
Reactions like this have happened much before as well, the only difference is that they did not have a cellular phone to record it.

I dont think so .. cell phones have been in use for more than a decade .. ones with cameras for atleast 5-6 years now .. I did not see any clip or even heard any incident at this level .. You should note how all the people started shouting shame shame shame and not to forget that the PIA staff also did not try to stop ppl .. i am 100% sure that before these dharnas the rest of the passengers would have tried to calm the vocal passengers .. also the main stream Pakistani media would have never aired these clips and held talk shows on this prior to azadi march ..

anyways it doesnt matter who gets the credit .. just the awareness that ppl need to raise their voice when WRONG IS WRONG .. 70% of ppl with IK/PTI are not because they love him .. they are with him to see a better Pakistan ..

Lmao - though i have respect for the guy, vut noway in hell he serves a VIP treatment - if Govt wants him that bad in Islo, get a damn charter for him ---- good one and hats off --- how many passengers are they going to kill, whole plane witnessed...hehehe

@Oscar @Fulcrum15 keeping everything aside and how we feel about the video - does this not fall under Hijack by the passenger??
in video is pretty clear, who were giving the orders and who had the control over the plane

Technically,hijack is control of aircraft and taking it to destinations against the will of captain. It includes hostages and violence against crew if orders are not obeyed. The plane went to its destination as per the scheduled route with full consent of captain. No weapons were displayed or threat to anyone's life. Yes when COAS aircraft was asked to be diverted to Ahmedabad, it was definitely a hijack.

 

[Amaa'n]

@Oscar buddy you should check Samaa TV right now, in a tv show, Dr. ramesh is saying the guy who was filming was a PTI worker, he was planted there and backed by PTI.... And he is saying only 2 of the passengers were there .....its funny, video says it all who is right and who is wrong

Thanks, that helped - but can we put it under the umbrella of " Attempt to hijack" ???
You never know what next an angry person is going to do....
Oscar sir, dont mind, this is just for the sake of my personal understanding.....

Yes you can put it under the attempt to Hijack by the ministers as flight was held for them to board. Had they not been late flight would have left at rescheduled time. If sanity does not prevail. Definitely we are looking at VIP being dragged with collar. I would not rule out a Qaddafi end if a peaceful solution to present circumstances is not achieved.

Ofcourse when people are denied their rights then there is no law and no justice -
One thing i was wondering is how come ASF was not called on scene???
