A Man Wouldn’t Stop Doing Yoga on a Flight, and Then Got Violent

A 72-year-old guy from South Korea named Hyongtae Pae was in Hawaii with his wife for their 40th wedding anniversary last week.  And he was feeling anxious on their flight back on Saturday.   So about 90 minutes in, he went to the back of the plane and started doing yoga.  But he was in the way while the flight attendants were trying to serve food.

 

So, they asked him to sit back down, but he refused.  Then he shoved his wife when SHE told him to sit down, because he was angry at her for taking their side.

 

Some Marines who happened to be on board tried to escort him back to his seat.  And he reacted by trying to BITE one of them, started throwing head-butts, threatened to KILL several passengers, and started yelling that there is no GOD. 

 

After that, the plane had to turn around and head back to Hawaii, where FBI agents arrested him for interfering with a flight crew.  And now he’s trying to get back to South Korea, but they won’t let him on another plane yet.

 

According to his lawyer, he’d recently been having trouble sleeping, and he took up yoga to help him relax.
