Why do the Media have to ad trivial info into a report and a serious story


A plane carrying the Manchester United team back from Florida, where they played in a pre-season friendly tournament, landed on time

I hope they throw the book at him and gets a decent jail sentence. 1 more stupid **** removed from the streets (shame it's not the gene pool).

Just what sort of an utter ******* moron do you have to be to pull that move. It beggars belief.

Having been sat on a plane for nearly 6 hours after a 7 hour flight because of a bomb scare I would like to suggest gallows or perhaps the guillotine?

Ban alcohol on flights, that would seriously reduce anti social / idiotic behaviour.

Never understood this - if there's any chance, however tiny, that a bomb is on board then why keep everyone there - surely safer to get the passengers well away from the plane?

Would it really though?
They'll not keep giving someone who is becoming more drunk, and if they're pissed before boarding then they'll probably not get on.

If only that were the case and why wait until someone is drunk before stopping?

Last year we had to put up with five blokes who boarded a Jet 2 flight from Malaga, and they were well oiled. Take off was almost delayed due to one of them going straight to the toilet. Then another tried to pick an argument with three business men for talking to each other ffs.
British culture seems to dictate that when at an airport you must consume alcohol, in some cases to extreme.

Banning alcohol would obviously not have made any difference here, as it seems the guy behind the incident only acted like a first-class loon because he really was a first-class loon.

Full-on psych evaluations before boarding of all planes, anyone?
