There are a lot of trends that seem similar to the 1850s. Things like high voter turnout, a Supreme Court that seems behind the times and probably more.
Hopefully it’s just random data points that people are just throwing together, rather than a reenactment of the 1800s.
Are these people incredibly drunk? What the fuck would drive you to piss anywhere other than a toilet - you’re in an airplane, there are a few of them. I have to assume that these were acts of aggression, and these people probably piss on people where ever the fuck they live too. They aren’t first time pissers, but are so acclimated to pissing on others that they were willing to do it on a plane.
I found this related article amusing:
It’s not just Indians who tend to do this. Last February, a Californian man urinated on the floor of a Southwest Airlines cabin after asking a flight attendant if she would like to see his penis. The attendant declined this offer, but the man proceeded to unzip and pee in the cabin. However, unlike in the Air India cases, the American man is facing federal charges and the possibility of 20 years in jail.
The Indian pisser was a Wells Fargo employee, now fired. The victim was 72 years old. The main criticism at the airline is that they didn’t call the cops or security once they landed.
