Drunken Air Rage: Summer's Hottest Trend!

Maybe SAFER is on to something. After a woman allegedly punched a flight attendant and lit up mid-flight, we didn't think in-air drunkenness could get any more outrageous. But meet Taylor Kircher!

The 21-year-old Drexel University student went wild on his British Airways flight from LHR to JFK, authorities say, after he downed an entire bottle of vodka. Among other things, he was masturbating through his clothing, says a federal air marshal:

He stated that he was unable to stop.

After a warning from the captain, flight attendants restrained Kircher with flex cuffs; he then spat in their faces. Before the plane managed to touch down in the States, he made one last threat, says the marshal:

At one point he told a flight crew member that he was going to "blow this plane up if you don't untie my ... feet."

We're trying to find Kircher on Myspace or Facebook... Won't you email us if you find him?
