Bodycam Footage of Odell Beckham Jr. Plane Incident

[Staubacher]

Pants up, don't snooze!

 

[sacase]

Flight attendants were 100% wrong. They instigated the whole thing and even tried to lie on him. The flight attended lied and says he was unresponsive. Cop told her he was responsive. The flight attendant lied about his pants cop looked he had shorts on. AaAshould pay for this one. I don't even blame him for popping off on the 1st class passengers. They were probably talking smack to him and expected him not to respond.

Looks like the flight attendant was looking to escalate the thing by having a power trip. When they said that he was fine and was willing to cooperate the flight attendant still refused and just had it in their mind to get him off the plane, was not even willing to go speak to him again etc. Then Obj didn't help matters either at the end. They should have fired the flight attendants and left obj behind and move on.

 

[Blackrain]

I stand w Odell

I just hope you both got pants on while standing together

 

[Hoofbite]

Damn. How big was the passenger in line at around 20:27? He's either huge or the body cam is basically hanging off a guy's bet buckle.

About the whole thing the only thing that appears to be his fault is just being a general *** after he was asked to get off the plane. He doesn't look to be in such a state that you could say it's a health risk if he flies.

Meh, whatever.

 

[Denim Chicken]

The kid gloves they treated him with is ridiculous. Why does he get special treatment like that when he is clearly causing a scene?

What special treatment? That's how police should interact. Deescalate situations.

It is funny that people defending OJB is totally overlooking the fact that the plane had to TURN AROUND after entering the taxiway because his seatbelt wasn’t on and he was unresponsive when they tried to wake him to put it on. If anyone else had caused this to happen, it wouldn’t even have been a debate.

The airlines run on a very tight schedule and the time to turnaround most likely disrupted other flights and cost a lot of money. I wonder how many people missed a connecting flight because of this. Or the plane that was supposed to park at that gate now is stuck on the taxiway until this mess is straightened out. How many people on that plane missed connecting flights.

Yes the attendants should have been pissed and any customers on that flight and every other flight that was disrupted because of his “unresponsiveness”!

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

TY would have got off immediately.

Don’t do this

 

[lukin2006]

He seems nice. I'll never understand people who put up a fuss like that...makes no sense. Just follow directions, not really that hard...it seems like the police, EMS and airline were more than patient. Part of the problem is society...we treat celebrities differently...if that was you or I, we are hauled off in cuffs and maybe a night in jail.

My opinion of this is whatever the pre-approved opinion is to have.

You, nor anyone else has a clue as to what happened before the body cam.

Your alleging the crew simply made up the whole thing. It seems improbable AA makes up excuses to boot first class customers.

He told them all you had to do was wake me up. They probably just walked by and told him to put his seat belt on, making no effort to wake him. I have seen them do that many times to people in planes. I am not aledging any thing. You can see they flight attendant lying twice in the video. She wanted him off and in trouble with the police no matter what. She was willing to say whatever to do that.

Seriously? Do you actually think Joe Schmo, average guy gets that same treatment with kid gloves? Hell no, that's not happening. We can debate how the police should interact in this situation but your admission the police de-escalated the situation also suggests it got escalated by OBJ. It's my opinion the aircrew attempted to de-escalate the situation and OBJ wasn't having it. When the situation gets escalated to the point the police need to get involved then it's time for the kid gloves to come off. If OBJ isn't cooperative then he needs a lesson through tough love on how to conduct yourself in public. I'm not saying roughing him up has to happen. His extraction from that aircraft can be as easy or as hard as he makes it. If he gets roughed up, it's a counter-action to his own actions. To keep the other passengers safe a straight jacket and duct tape may need to be employed until he is off the plane. But I don't inconvenience the other passengers by having them deboard the plane.

I didn't see her lie. I believe he probably did pull his sweats down, but had shorts underneath. It's not a big deal for him to do so, but my guess is she didn't realize it. There were two attendants going in on him, so it would be reasonable to think maybe they did actually try to wake him a few times.

You are speculating, just as I am. The only thing we know was he acted like a selfish clown on body cam. He had zero regard for the other passengers.

I get it. You’re on a plane and you’re at work and this guy won’t follow the rules. They may be power trippin but they also don’t want to be in the air with a drunk passenger swinging on flight attendants either

You got this wrong. It's not the aircrew's responsibility to keep OBJ conscious. OBJ bares the responsibility to be awake when the aircrew is preparing the passengers for takeoff so he can pay attention to instructions. His inconsiderate attitude is making the aircrew's job more difficult. Of course they requested he put his seatbelt on that's their job, not to keep him awake. The flight attendant was obviously annoyed by the time the video was rolling and rightfully so. You can't say she was lying because you weren't there. You are making up excuses for OBJ. She obviously wanted him off the plane by that point because she had had enough of his inconsiderate attitude.

It's not official until you change it to the cover pick on your social media page.

 

[FTWayne]

They should have waited until they got in the air to kick him off the plane.

You're take on the situation is laughable. You have a total misunderstanding of the social contract between passengers and the aircrew. The aircrew has a job to do preparing the passengers for a safe takeoff. It's not their job to keep passengers conscious so they can receive instructions. OBJ's inconsiderate attitude instigated this situation.

Let me add this for anyone that doesn’t understand how the rules work. A plane can not take off until all passengers and baggage is secured, that’s the law. Flight attendants most insure this with their preflight walk through. They cannot knowingly allow a passenger to be unbuckled, it’s their job 100%. They do casually walk by but the are certainly verifying that all comply.

The attendant stated that they tried to wake OJB but he was unresponsive, giving the captain no other choice but to turnaround and go back to the gate. That had NOTHING to do with the attendant, nothing! Everyone that is blaming the attendant is lost on the law. The attendant can advocate him being removed, but it’s 100% the captains call. And once that plane turned around, and they found out it wasn’t a medical emergency, he would have to be the president to not be removed. Those pilots are under heavy pressure and scrutiny to be on time.
