Rock icon Richard Marx played the part of Steven Seagal, Harrison Ford and Samuel L. Jackson.
What played out Tuesday aboard a Korean Air flight from Hanoi, Vietnam to Seoul, South Korea wasn't the plot of "Executive Decision," "Air Force One," "Snakes on a Plane" or any other airline adrenaline-fueled film.
The Daily Mail reports Marx and wife Daisy Fuentes - whose mentioned just reminded you that "House of Style" was a thing - experienced a terrifying ordeal when a passenger flipped out and needed to be restrained by Marx himself. The man behind "Endless Summer Nights" and "Right Here Waiting" took to Facebook to explain a harrowing ordeal.
His first post states on the experience: "You will be hearing about our flight#480 on @KoreanAir_KE. Passenger next to us attacked passengers and crew. Crew completely ill trained."

The rest of he posts are as follows:
Marx allayed any fears as things unfolded:
Dramatic images then hit his feed:
Marx explains via one of the posts: "My wife and I are safe but one crew member and two passengers were injured. The all female crew was clueless and not trained as to how to restrain this psycho and he was only initially subdued when I and a couple other male passengers intervened.
He then later easily broke his restraints and attacked more crew and another passenger. When we landed in Seoul police boarded the plane.
Heading home to Los Angeles soon but Korean Air should be sanctioned for not knowing how to handle a situation like this without passenger interference."
Fuentes also chimed in on Facebook with further details.
The TV presenter states: "On our flight from Hanoi to Seoul a guy sitting in the next row from us got crazy & started attacking the flight attendants & passengers. When he started pushing the female staff and pulling them by the hair Richard was the first to help subdue him. This went on for FOUR hrs. I feel horrible for the abuse the staff had to endure but no one was prepared for this. They never fully got control of him. They didn't know how to use the taser & they didn't know how to secure the rope around him (he got loose from their rope restraints 3 times)."
As to whether we will see more footage, Fuentes continued, "I'll be posting some of the video after our next flight."
As Fox News states, the airline itself has not yet commented on the scary ordeal, but if Marx and Fuentes are accurate in their descriptions, the airline has a way to go in training its attendants to deal with the possibility of extreme circumstances.
