#MH122 reunited with my cabin baggage and now about to be processed through customs and hopefully head to a hotel for some sleep. Next flight, same time tomorrow 🤞
#Mh122 update. Feds are still collecting evidence. Vouchers for hotels are being handed out. No indication of when baggage will be able to come off the plane. Some passengers reasonably concerned about getting their medications ASAP. #sydneyairport
#mh122 off the plane and now…waiting on a bus. Feds rude & aggressive to passengers when finally boarding the plane. Disgraceful conduct and should be reviewed. People are scared and confused and our ‘rescuers’ got on board and scared people again. #sydneyairport
#MH122 all in a waiting area. Feds here to collect everyone’s details, get us processed back into the country and then we have to go and collect our bags and belongings. And once we are processed back in, then we find out what next. #sydneyairport
MH122 absolute kudos to the cabin crew. I know they train for this stuff but keeping this guy contained was not easy. He’s not a small bloke - big bloody unit. Not young but no 10 pound lightweight either. #sydneyairport
#mh122 captain came over intercom saying the authorities are still formulating a plan to get us off the plane safely. Sorry - wtf? #sydneyairport - lucky we’re not on fire, we’d all be toast by the time the talking heads got their shit together.
#MH122 flight was turned around. We landed back in Sydney at about 3:45. We are STILL on the plane with this guy. Who has arced up again and tried to take on a passenger who stood up to him. Lord help us if we ever have a more serious incident. #sydneyairport
#MH122 unzipped his backpack, put his hands in, made barely veiled threats about having something dangerous in it screaming at the top of his lungs right next to my seat. Never been so scared. #sydneyairport
#MH122 he was stalking the aisles getting in the faces of passengers. Cabin staff came through to contain him and he kicked off even more. #sydneyairport
#MH122 then this guy launches out of his seat with a backpack strapped ON FRONT and starts losing it. Yelling at the top of his lungs and ‘preaching’ incomprehensibly.
#MH122 started early in the flight with constant chanting over and over again. A few people were quizzical and looked around but were being polite about it
#MH122 Confimed for real, I’m no #IdrisElba. Scariest situation in my life. Man appears to have had a religiously fuelled psychotic break during the flight. It’s been intense AF.
A pleasure to be involved in such a worthwhile cause & big call out to @SammiMarks Saira Monnoo Lucinda Childs for your help. Can't wait to see the virtual teambuilding on the day. Make sure you register to get bragging rights that you hold a world record…https://t.co/K9FjHzZUQm
