New footage has emerged of Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, the American Airlines passenger duct-taped and zip-tied to his seat, as he slurs a bizarre rant about another traveller’s manhood while the plane is forced into an emergency diversion.
New shocking footage of the viral foul-mouthed passenger who was duct-taped and zip-tied to his seat on an American Airlines flight has now surfaced.
This time, it shows him launching into a bizarre rant about another traveller’s manhood. The man, who has since been identified as Arthur Layne Lundeen, 67, from Arizona, USA, can be seen in the newly surfaced clip, restrained in his seat – wrists bound and body wrapped – while continuing to shout and slur his words.
He says: “You have a little tiny d***. You have a little tiny d***.
“All you little f***ing … whoa, oh yeah.” He then trails off and flails his arms as he continues rambling.
The unknown person filming, seated across the aisle, can be heard laughing several times as he records the scene, the New York Post reported. After causing a plane to divert to Baltimore, US, on September 3, Lundeen, was arrested by the Maryland Transportation Authority Police upon landing, the Daily Star previously reported.
Lundeen was restrained to his seat with duct tape and his hands were zip tied after he went on an alleged booze-fuelled rant during the flight from Dallas, Texas, to Newark, New Jersey. Pictures and videos of the bizarre incident have been circulating on social media.
Lundeen had triggered an emergency diversion of American Airlines Flight 618 after he allegedly called a flight attendant the N-word and made anti-gay slurs. Lundeen’s LinkedIn profile previously listed him as a vice president at Long Realty in Tucson, but it has since been removed.
He had worked for Long Realty as a real estate agent but has since been dismissed. The company later confirmed in a statement posted on its Facebook page that Lundeen was no longer employed there, Fox 8 Live reported.
“Long Realty is aware of reports concerning criminal charges filed against a former affiliated real estate agent arising from an incident that allegedly occurred during a commercial flight,” the firm wrote. “Upon learning of the incident, Long Realty promptly ended its affiliation with the individual.”
It continued: “The individual is no longer associated with or authorized to represent Long Realty in any capacity. The conduct described in the reports is wholly inconsistent with the professionalism, integrity, compassion, and respect for others that Long Realty expects from those affiliated with the company.
“We expect those associated with our company to uphold those values, and we have no tolerance for conduct that so clearly falls short of those expectations. Our focus remains on serving our clients and community in accordance with our values.
“Our thoughts are with the passengers, crew members and others affected by this incident.”
