Nigerian Man Hospitalized In US After Entering Plane For First Time & Was Tied by Rachelsblog(f): 8:02am On Jan 27, 2018
A Nigerian man named David Ukesone who boarded a flight for the first time in his life, has been hospitalized after being tied with sit belt on a flight from Nigeria to Chicago on the 23rd of January, 2018. .



WgnTV Reports that Ukesone had never been on a plane before, and it was his first time flying, according to his family. His children said there was no issue on his flight from Nigeria to Dubai. .



But from Dubai to Chicago, there was a misunderstanding that led to their father being restrained for more than eight-hours -- ultimately sending him to the hospital. .



His family said he unknowingly sat in the wrong seat. His family said when the crew moved him, and wouldn't let him get his carry-on. They restrained him, leaving him zip tied for eight-hours. .



Emirates Airlines said he was being unruly and they were trying to keep others safe. There were no details on what happened. His family doubts this and demands answers. .



Ukesone's family shared images of injuries to their father's head and where his arms and legs were restrained by flight attendants.



He's expected to be released from the hospital on Thursday.

Y'all don't read.
From Dubai to Chicago, there was a misunderstanding that led to their father being restrained for more than eight-hours -- ultimately sending him to the hospital.
He was placed in the wrong seat.
It wasn't phobia or excitement

He was trying to suppress a personal disorder within him (either a phobia or anxiety ), but he chose a rather violent method. If he becomes a threat to the safety of the flight as well as other passengers, then it is the duty of the flight attendants to contain and refrain him.

He will get over the trauma in the hospital

The worry is; which flight would allow him to board them back home?

It's aviophobia - fear of flying.

There should at least been a Nigerian on that flight that could have interpreted what was going on to the old man.
If they moved him from the wrong seat to the right one and he wanted to get his carry on, there shouldn't have been a problem then. I think something got lost in transition.
On the other hand, I feel sorry for most of these old folks when traveling by air, when I'm in their presence because they look lost.
But the joy of going to see their kids or grandkids is enough to go through that for them.

It's not always good to allow an elderly person flying for the first time to do so unaccompanied. For one, they need a companion to help with their luggage, the in-flight instructions, choice of food etc. Na the economy sha...better to schedule the parents' visit around yours if you can afford it.
