...Really, this is a news item and should have been posted in the News forum.

But how strange! We all assume drunken yobs when we see something like this --- but one man admitted to hospital, and the other four allowed back on the plane?

I wonder if we'll ever know.....

There was a similar incident at Dabolim last season as well.

And this has given no one pause in light of so many panicky false reports about people of supposedly Muslim designation behaving suspiciously on airplanes? Goodness grief.

---maybe they were wearing heavy padded jackets.

That's something you can get shot for on the London Underground.

Now, on a plane to India it really would be suspicious

Haha. I love watching a good fight on a plane. By fight I mean argument. I was on a plane from Delhi to Malaysia in March 2004, and this husband and wife fully gave it to the male attendant, about him ignoring the couple, yada yada yada. I felt like back handing the couple. Oh well, the perks of flying in tight economy class seats.

Its the Balmy Army in SHOCK

I think I hear that "BARMY ARMY BARMY ARMY BARMY ARMY!" chant slowly fading away as the series will become 5-0. Oh how I miss Rab, where are you?

It's usually sports fans on a plane who disrupt everything. Booze and egos. Main causes of tension in the air.

I bet its a quiter trip home

Can be an expensive business, getting chucked of a flight beware!! I've stopped drinking on flights. So that's one less Scottish nutter to worry about.

Rab is rumoured to have swopped the three lions for a Sky Blue Polo with the Indian flag. In the hope that this cricketing nation can show the Aussies some cricket!!
