Mid-flight fist fight traumatises crew

[NM]

from news.com.au:

A VIRGIN Blue plane had to turn around mid-flight after two rowdy passengers got into a fist fight and one pretended he was carrying a bomb.

The flight from Brisbane to Darwin had to be cancelled after two passengers caused a disruption shortly after boarding, The Northern Territory News reported.

Witnesses said the men had been drinking

Why am I not surprised? It's always someone whose had a few too many when there's these kinds of incidents.

Ha ha, maybe the crew should just have ignored them - like the Air India flight I was on and two passengers were trying to strangle each other in the isle. No flight crew to be seen, other passengers pulled them apart, disengaged hands from throats and sat them down, nothing else happened.

Some people should never be allowed out in public. He will more than likely end up with a good behaviour bond anyway.

The flight had to be stopped and the plane flown back to Brisbane. The cabin crew were said to have been traumatised by the incident.

How do you stop a flight in mid-air?
