Aer lingus flight: Man attacks/bites passengers, dies onboard plane

..............Previously on AMC's The Flying dead..

Portugal is one of the main entry points of drugs into Europe, mostly from South America.

When a packet bursts inside a "drug mule" the amount of drug is hundreds of times higher the maximum dose, so death takes only some minutes.

It's like I tell my kids all the time; if the zompocalypse happens, make sure you have an air rifle. 1) they are actually powerful and accurate enough to cause sufficient head trauma to take out the undead from a distance well outside the splatter zone 2) while not entirely silent, their report is not so loud that it will draw the undead for miles 3) they are the most efficient way to bag small game year round so you don't starve when your not slaying zombies 4) a thousand rounds of air rifle ammo is a heck of a lot lighter and easier to carry around than a thousand rounds of regular ammo.

Well after reading the Irish news report the guy became agitated bit one passenger was restrained then died after becoming unconscious. Not quite the rabid rampage some are suggesting. Hope the other guy who was bitten and hospitalized once the diverted plane had landed, will be ok..

The guy may have been extremely impressionable, and had watched World War Z a short time before he went on the trip.

Interesting to see how this story develops....

Now the Portuguese news sources are saying that the man was Portuguese and the woman is Portuguese/Angolan.

what kind of air rifle would u recommend? The ones I had when I was growing up were barely good enough for small game, let alone a zombie skull lol. I've been searching for one powerful enough to hunt with (and possibly add into my anti zombie arsenal) but I've yet to find a worthy air rifle.

Drug mule would be my guess. He had a balloon of coke blow up in his stomach and went insane, then died of a heart attack.

Nice guess. Would make sense

In other news, someone actually started killing "Zombies" at ZombiCon - yeah it's real: The zombies have their own convention.

Post mortem due soon. The man was a 24 year old student from Brazil.

Hmmm...Brazil.

What's the name of the really weird South American drug that basically makes you like a very suggestible zombie for a while?

Whatever it's called, i've read that it makes people do the most insane things, and then forget all what they've done the following day or so..people were being deliberately intoxicated with the stuff, then marched to the nearest bank machine and emptied their accounts, or gave away everything they had, or were compelled to do things a lot worse than losing all their money.

Scary stuff. Maybe it was something like this drug that made the guy do it..i've heard that taking or being forced to take too much of the stuff will make you flip out and then kill you.

i wish people didnt say the same joke over and over, people look through comments to read new information. not read the same damn Zombie apoco jokes

Let's do this

dammit i was thinking of zombies when i clicked the link

but even if its something rational like drugs, would those explain the guy biting people? that seems like rabies behaviour

Anyone else think it's weird, we haven't heard anything about the passenger who got bit.....

Just sayin'.....

I just got back from several Aer Linguas flights. Thank god this didn't happen on my flights!!

Rabies is a really slow mover. If it is rabies, there is plenty of time for the victim to get his or her shots.

Apparently he only bit one man's hand when they were trying to hold him.

Oh gods.

And we have a black president like in all the apocalyptic movies. Aw crap.

Don't worry about it...just get on a boat.

Zombies aren't great swimmers!

Just make sure you stay out of the shallows so they can't drag your boat down and that you don't get a bloater.

Portugal recognised Brazil's independence in 1825.

What was he doing flying Aer lingus?

Because if you're gonna bite someone, you need to be one the airline with the right name.

He bit one passenger.

Star / flag whores are indeed sad lifeforms...

That's not very nice - I thought it would be worth a read/discussion.

Next time - shall I message you first to see if it passes your levels of acceptance? There's a few mods who have commented here, so I don't think it's broken the T+C.

Thanks for your invaluable input.
