Drunk Bro Forces Boston-Bound Flight To Divert After He Wouldn't Stop Doing Pull-Ups

There are unspoken protocols airborne travelers should inherently understand: don't get plastered prior to boarding and don't use the cabin as your local gym.

Most importantly, don't be a jerk.

A Boston-bound passenger was responsible for diverting American Airlines flight 2763 to Kansas City overnight because of his unruly behavior.

The man was visibly drunk, according to WBZ news channel, when he stumbled onto the plane accompanied by a female passenger and two dogs.

Things soured as the plane departed Phoenix and took to the skies.


At some point during the flight, the wasted jetsetter – whose name hadn't been released – decided to turn the overheard compartment bin into his personal pull up bar.

David Markoski told the CBS affiliate, "He was leaning up against where you put the bags overhead and a passenger came by and said, 'What are you going to do, some pull-ups?'"

"And the guy actually grabbed onto it and started doing some pull-ups on the plane in front of everybody."


Who was this guy? Twitter had some ideas.




The sloshed passenger became belligerent after ordering more drinks.

Flight attendants repeatedly instructed the gym rat to take a seat mid-flight, but he refused.

"He got verbally abusive with her," Markoski told the reporter.

"He started calling her names. Profanity."

Once the flight was forced to land in Kansas City, Missouri, on Monday night, local authorities boarded the aircraft and escorted the inebriated man off the plane.

Markoski noted just how out of sorts the pumped-up passenger was.

"Security came onto the plane to go get him, and he was really not understanding what was going on."


Despite others being inconvenienced by the detour, there were no consequences for the offending passenger.

Kansas City FBI told WBZ that no arrests have been made and no charges were filed.



The flight reached its final destination at Logan Airport in Boston at 1 a.m., 90 minutes after the scheduled arrival time.

People Debate Mandatory Retirement At 75 For Congress And The Supreme Court

When Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away in the fall of 2020, the United States panicked.

Namely, democrats and liberals were terrified by the prospect of another conservative judge on the United States Supreme Court, which already had a two-seat majority.

Then of course, there was the ongoing debate as to whether or not then-sitting president Donald Trump was entitled to pick another Supreme Court judge, as the 2020 presidential election was only weeks away.

Barack Obama was famously banned from appointing Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court owing to the fact that it was an election year, even though President Obama still had eight months left in his presidency.

Of course, RBG's death at age 87 also brought to the forefront an ongoing debate about whether there should be age limits for Supreme Court Justices.

Because there isn't always a defense, people sometimes have a close brush with death. They experience something that could've killed them but, by some miracle... didn't.

More people have stories like that than we expect.

Redditors are no exception and, in fact, were eager to share their close calls.

Until we're in a situation, we'll never really know how we'll react.

I have been in this scenario, though.

Sex matters. And people rarely want to admit how much.

But sex isn't a lifetime guarantee.

It fades, as does love.

It's important to speak about it.

It can be a fixable situation.

A relationship without sex may not be the end of the world, but it's definitely a sign that something is off.
