‘Drunk’ Women Force Landing of British Airways Flight
EmailTwo reportedly drunk women forced the landing of a British Airways flight in Lyon, France, earlier this week.
Flight BA2664 was headed from London’s Gatwick Airport to Tunis. The flight was diverted to Lyon, the airline said, following “the continued disruptive behavior of two female passengers.”
British tabloid The Sun reported the women were drinking Malibu rum and swore at children. They reportedly threatened the family of a British Airways flight attendant and tried to storm the cockpit and hid in the lavatory and tried to smoke.
The paper quoted a passenger as saying, “They decided they were going to meet the captain and marched towards the cockpit. It was very frightening.”
“Our customers and flying crew deserve a safe and enjoyable flight experience,” an airline spokesperson said. “We do not tolerate any disruptive behavior onboard our flights.
“They were handed over to the custody of the French police and detained upon arrival in Lyon.”

Too bad they weren’t strippers. That would have replaced the in-flight entertainment.

I’m assuming they’ll be billed the costs of an extra landing stop. I can’t even imagine how much jet fuel alone that costs!

Their punishment will be the nasty hangovers from drinking enough of that garbage to get that drunk.

They’ll be fined big time!

Since they were already in France maybe they could have borrowed one of their guillotines.

I’m curious whether these women will be prosecuted under British law or under French law.

Everything was fine until they hit on a gay steward with an attitude.

Man I can relate.Worst night of my life started out drinking Tequila shots and ended with us doing shots of each others urine.(so I was told).Must be good for a hangover though,I felt fine the next day.

“Women” of not! I’ve have beaten the life out of them! Or at least until unconsciousness! All aircraft have hand cuffs thus, the two “female dogs” would have spent the remainder of the flight hog-tied and face down in the aircraft toilet and someone on duty to FLUSH any time they fussed even the sightless! By now, you can probably tell I HATE drunks! (ESPECIALLY the “female dog” drunks!)

It would be nice to have an onboard hatch to dump unruly passengers. Perhaps they can even give the apologetic ones defective parachutes.

Why don’t white people decide that drinking should be curtailed and if you are on a plane you are in public and it’s against the law to drink in public. They shove alcohol in our faces everywhere you turn. It’s on billboards and magazines and commercials and of course on the airplane with the alcohol cart. Why not pass our pot brownies? I mean I would rather relax with that than the affects of alcohol. Either white people decide that having people drunk all the time is not a good idea and that let them choose alcohol instead of having it shoved into our faces. It has to stop, because people get drunk on the plane and have to drive home. I can get drunk in a bar and I can even fall down and dance around and sing, but you can’t do any of this on a plane. Let’s stop serving alcohol on planes. If it is such a problem are we making it worse by pushing it into people’s faces all the time
