Oh, yes. And I’m somewhat ashamed to admit the number of times in the decade or so afterwards that I woke up and told myself, “Well, at least you didn’t take a dump on the drink cart.”

I have no memory of this......

The incident has been recalled as the worst case of air rage ever.

He served no time in jail. And the article doesn't mention that he lost his job.

Epitome of white (Greenwich) privilege.

Gerard Finneran is going to have his name associated with this incident the rest of his life. I'm surprised he even HAS a job.

Finneran died in 2004, per the Wikipedia article.

He's unemployed! I knew it!

This happened in 1995. If this same episode were to occur today, would Finnegan receive the same treatment?

It depends, R17. As a rich white male, if he shouted out "Let's go Brandon!" while taking that shit then he would face no consequences.

I’m more surprised that the President of Portugal and the Foreign Minister of Argentina were allowed to board the same flight.

Finneran was likely in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's. He died of the disease in 2004.

The incident was mentioned in an episode of MST3K when a stewardess offered passengers a food cart to crap on.
