Passengers angrily block politician from boarding plane after two-hour delay

If you want to take rational, patient people and turn them into just the opposite, there's a simple way to do it: Put them on an airplane.

A group of passengers on board a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight were stuck waiting for two hours on the tarmac. When it became clear that the delay was because of a politician, leader of the Pakistan People's Party Rehman Malik, the passengers were not impressed.

When Malik, a former interior minister, finally sauntered down the hallway to board the plane, an angry mob prevented him from entering. The whole incident was caught via the phone camera of one of the passengers:

According to witnesses and The New York Times, passengers shouted at Malik from the front of the plane and eventually Malik turned around and left.

In an interview about the incident, Malik said he was not responsible for the dramatic scene, and blamed his opponents.

"I felt the drama was created by some passengers who were PTI folks," Malik said, referring to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party.

"The delay was not due to me ... I myself suffered because of the airline's mismanagement."

Mashhood Tajwar, a spokesman for PIA, said that the cause of the delay was under investigation, and two managers at the airport were currently suspended, pending the outcome of the investigation.
