What the hell is wrong with people nowadays?
Maybe someone mentioned the war? ;D
Passenger rage diverts plane
From correspondents in Dusseldorf, Germany
February 22, 2006.
A BANGKOK-bound aircraft was diverted to the German city of Dusseldorf yesterday after a drunken male passenger went on a rampage that triggered an uproar on board.
The captain decided in Ukraine airspace to call the trip off amid fears of a full-scale brawl.
The Airbus jet, operated by LTU, a German vacations airline, had left Munich in Germany with 212 passengers aboard when the 45-year-old man began misbehaving.
Another passenger said flight attendants managed to handcuff and bind the man and put him under a blanket to keep him calm, but he and his friends exploded when an emotional woman passenger approached and punched him.
"The crew said they were worried about our safety and we had to go back," said the witness, 65.
German police said the man at the centre of the melee left the plane quietly, escorted by four police.
