| |  yes I agree that the person should know the basics of the language of ther country they are visiting. If for some reason they are not able to learn the language thn they should have someone who speaks the language with them at all times.
As in the above case the security guards could have brought someone, sach as a trasilater for the man to find out what the problem was. I do feel sorry for the mother and their fmily though!

| |  Although this scenario is very sad, I find the story a little hard to believe. There had to be something else going on. First of all I can't believe that any US airport or ship port wouldn't have some type of translation device available for virtually any language. They deal with thousands of foreigners from all parts of the world every single day, why would this one guy have a problem communicating? It makes no sense.
Second.. although 50,000 volts sounds horrific, it is not deadly. I carry a 40,000 volt stun gun on my key ring, It's smaller than a cigarette lighter. It's legal specifically because it's not deadly.
Third.. if this guy was throwing tables around in a security detention area where there would be armed officers standing around .. he was a complete idiot. There aren't too many sober people who would be THAT stupid no matter how frustrated they are. Especially in today's world.
Anyway, I'm not saying that there aren't strange situations that come up at airports all the time, but there has to be much more to the story.
Whatever the reasons for traveling to a foreign country you don't need to know very many words or phrases in another language to make yourself understood. As an English speaking person and knowing that it would not be difficult to find another English speaking person no matter where on Earth I went, I would not go to a foreign country with no way to communicate in some way in the native language. In my opinion that would just be beyond foolish. There are too many things available. There are phrase books, dictionaries, handheld translators, etc.. in every language.

| |  Hi! I do believe that a certain amount of English would do a foreigner good when visiting the United States. I guess that's one of the reasons why visitors would get or bring a book of translations of simple statements in the language of the country they're visiting, because there is really a need to communicate.
That story that you just said is sad. I just wonder why a translator was not presented to the man. Oh well ... happy myLotting to you, anyway.

| | i think the problem started when they told his mother he was not there and he was there.this could have been prevented.the voltage was stated here as been safe it couldn,t have been safe because he died and if it was safe his heart wouldn,t have stopped. | | | |

| |  Yes I do believe that a person settling in new country should learn the language prior to immigration. He or she should do their effort to integrate in the new community or else he will suffer from great problems. © ronaldinu 2008

| |  Usually around the world, you will be able to communicate okay if you speak either the native language, english, french, or spanish. Unfortunately in America, it is very rare to find a native American who speaks a second language. I would say that if you'd like to come to America to visit and you don't have anyone who can translate with you, it would be best to study English first.

| |  hi annjilena,
boy, this is really a very sad story.. i cant imagine how terrible the mom must be feeling..
true, it might have been a different story if the man could have spoken english, he could have explained that he was waiting for his mom, or get help to call his mom...
but - 50,000 volts of electricity.. were guards trying to execute the man, or subdue him ??..
just wondering did anyone check to see if the man was 'normal'.. no speaking 'dissability', can he read/write.. his iq - 'normal' ?..
i dont quite understand how a 'normal' person would be so upset, throwing things - do things that could upset the local authorities in a foreign land..
i mean, if it was me.. i know i would be as timid as mouse... or at least ask for an interpreter...

| | this man had been waiting for nine hours waiting on his mom he was frustrated by then he was babbling to the police they didn,t know he didn,t speak any english at all. when mom came they told mom he was not there but he was there wating then.so he started lashing out trying to get their attention that he was tired of waiting.i think they went about doing this all wrong.so much could have been done different here.as resort this man lost his life.thank you for sharing | | | |
