Not stopping there, the man also attempted to open the exit door and broke the in-flight intercom, terrifying the passengers.
He then attempted to interfere with the flight crew out of frustration with turbulence! Flight EZY8235, which departed from Gatwick Airport on Tuesday afternoon, was headed to the city of Kos in Greece. After taking off at 4 PM, the plane made an emergency landing in Munich at 6:50 PM due to the passenger insulting the pilots and trying to take control.
Angered by the turbulence, the drunk man tried to open the cockpit door. His aggressive behavior continued, causing panic and fear among the passengers. Many passengers burst into tears, and the incident was captured on phone cameras. Meanwhile, the cabin crew and other passengers subdued him.
One of the passengers told Mirror, 'The cabin crew was great and very brave, but what happened was really upsetting.'

However, the passengers of the emergency landing flight had to spend the night in a hotel.
