According to TMZ, two passengers and a crew member sustained injuries. The unruly passenger was reportedly arrested by Seoul police when the plane landed at Incheon Airport. No word on the reason for his meltdown.
Damn. You knew he could sing a heartfelt, adult contemporary radio-friendly pop/rock ballad. Turns out that Richard Marx has also got the resolve to regulate an asshole air passenger, and quite handy with a rope.
Uh, also, who else was surprised as hell to learn that Richard Marx is married to Daisy Fuentes?
Yes, I agree. This is a really weird story.
