Someone did step in and filming it then gives the police evidence to charge

Filming might help the police later but of absolute no use to the lady at the time...

But filming it should help prosecute the scum bag & hopefully stop him from doing it again.
Agree it doesn’t help the lady at the time,but I’m sure she’ll feel better if it helps the police in dealing him.

What's wrong with old fashioned eyewitness accounts?

In this case though there is a cabin full of eye witnesses, and the airline already know his identity as the seat is allocated to a passport confirmation of identity. Ryanair has copped out, and the other passengers should have helped the cabin crew eject the man off the plabe into the hands of the police.
If that was my mum, I wouldnt be so happy with those just sat watching.

Totally agree & if I was one of the passengers the last thing I’d be doing was grabbing my phone.
I’m just saying that once the police saw the footage there’s no doubt about what happened.
Plus without the footage I doubt this would be such big news.

All very true, but a very sad reflection on our society.

If he’s so backward, that he doesn’t know his behaviour was inappropriate, he shouldn’t be travelling alone!

The pilot should have been notified & the passenger should have been told to shut his filthy mouth & get off the plane.
The airsteward was pathetic imo.
I'll ask again, what would you have done if you were there ?

That may well be the case - but we just do not know. It does not make his words any the less nasty, and nor does pixelating out his face on any pictures make it any less so. But we don't need to know who he is unless there are no mitigating circumstances - but I'd advise caution before condemning him as the obnoxious racist he appeared to be.
That some would stand aside and not intervene but would rather take photographs and video makes me question rather the morals of these folks.
I've made no comment on it, you however have said on a number of occasions about your displeasure that others seem to have done nothing, so I'm asking a simple question, what would you have done ?

Impossible question to answer.
Nobody knows what they would do until they are in that situation for real.

Personally I don't think the passengers should have to get involved, they did as much as they should have done. What if a passenger does get involved, decides to take action and try and get the offending passenger off the plane themselves. During the altercation (which there would have been, can't see that guy going quietly) there is some sort of accident and that passenger (or someone else) suffers serious injury. All of this is captured on film and it ends up being the have a go hero sat in the wrong side of the dock.
This should have been handled solely by the cabin crew and captain of the airline, it shouldn't be up to the passengers to have to step in and do Ryanair's job for them.
