A disruptive passenger was restrained with flexible handcuffs and duct-taped to a seat as his flight was diverted to make an emergency landing in Baltimore Thursday night, photos and video from other passengers showed.
Richard Olenick and Juan Mejia were more than halfway through the flight when a man two rows behind them in the first-class section started to become belligerent, Olenick said.
A flight attendant tried to control the situation but the man got increasingly agitated, started to hit the passenger next to him and then hit a woman who tried to intervene, Olenick said.
It has too short of a life expectancy to be used for construction.
The are no manufacturers that call for its use…that I know of.
It is good for holding things in place till they’ve been secured but don’t leave it on, the sticky stuff will make a mess.
Well, the original-original duck tape, which wasn’t a sticky tape, was recommended and used a lot in construction (and shoes, and fashion) back at the turn of the last century. Duck tape, the original sticky and somewhat waterproof version, was used by the military for quick repairs during WWII. Afterwards it was often sold in stores for quick home repairs.
But yes, especially these days and for long-term repairs, there are better options.
