No cause for celebration.


An air stewardess who released a champagne cork into a plane's ceiling inadvertently caused a seven hour delay for passengers after the aircraft was forced to ground, according to reports.

The flight from Britain to Turkey had to be diverted after a hard-hitting cork damaged the ceiling and caused oxygen masks to drop around the ears of startled passengers at the back of the plane.
