Evans, who sits in front of Sharma just in front of him, said he warned the flight officials after being increasingly uncomfortable with Sharma’s behavior. They advised him to press the help button if the situation rose.
Ev I pressed the button when I continued to threaten me with death, Ev Evans said. Later, he explained the moment when the discussion was physical.
“We look at me very angry and look at the eye, your forehead, and then he only captures me from the throat and just starts to drown me. At that moment, you know, you know, there was a fight or flight reactions.
