Lovely voice.

[AnotherOneAmerican]

One hit wonder!

WOW, an not an English airline ...............

Why are you so surprised?

Most airlines have zero tolerance towards violent passengers these days.

I know of a billionaire who was dragged off an aircraft and subsequently fined for assaulting a stewardess.

I don't need to be an Irishman to start a fight aboard a flight.

I am (xxxcensoredxxx), and on my most recent flight, I stubbed the guy and his wife next to me for being blatantly rude.

The flight attendants expressed their understanding for my actions.

some A....holes just deserve no better.

at one time fr many years by far the most played and covered 'farlang' song in Thailand, you could not go anywhere without hearing it.

zombie zombie ZOMBIE eh eh EH AY AY AY its in your heeeeaaaad,

sadly no thai knew what the sond was about

and even worse I doubt they received what would have been a small fortune from Thailand for all the play.

go 'mulva'

[boomerangutang]

She must have forgotten to eat her Lucky Charms breakfast cereal that morning.

[blowin]

She has now been taken to hospital by ambulance. She assaulted an air hostess inflight and head butted a police officer and spat in his face when arrested.

They probably kept playing that inane pop song of a woman singing

in your heaaaadddd

over and over again and it drove her mad. She wouldn't have been the first.

Once when boarding an Air Asia flight they continuously played this song where some guy kept repeating

I got the moves of Jagger

It gave me a new perspective on air rage.

Good clip of Beyonce, she's obviously medicated, nothing mysterious about that.

[wooloomooloo]

A washed-up, has-been getting wrecked. No excuse and hopefully banned from the carrier for life.

"Do you know who I am?", yawn.

I remember the Cranberries video from the mid 90's where this girl looked like she was trying to fling a booger off her finger.

Funny, what you remember....

She assaults and injures a crew member during the flight, and assaults a policeman ... and then she's set free with no charges? I should move to Ireland. Hmmm, on second thought, maybe not.

[mercman24]

reply to the knave, yep i was going to start an airline up once in competition to Air Lingus, but the airline name was banned, it never took off, he he.

I haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. But don't bother trying to explain. It's hard to comprehend such a brilliant mind as yours.

Yes, the very rich never break the law or act privileged or superior to others. Absolutely shocking!!!

[Guitar God]

Is this another "alcohol may have been involved " stories ?

Funny that you never read a story about violent outbreaks, assault, property damage or murder that says " pot may have been involved ".
