Pilot dumps drunk man on tiny remote island - heh | |
2005-12-30 | |
A drunken air passenger was cast away on an island more than 1,000 miles from home after abusing cabin staff. The unidentified man swore at crew and passengers after being refused a bottle of wine on the four-hour flight from Manchester to Tenerife. He became so abusive the fed-up pilot diverted the Monarch Airlines Airbus to Porto Santo island off West Africa. The Atlantic island, which is 10 miles long and three miles wide, is a two-hour ferry journey to Madeira. After the plane touched down, the man was marched off by police and had his luggage dumped on the tarmac.
The plane and its remaining passengers then took off again for Tenerife, where it landed almost four hours late after the unscheduled stop. | |

#4 well well he got in a nice place with a lot of booze it's only thing there besides beaches. And he just neeeds a trip by boat to the major island Madeira to get in one of most spectacular End of Year fireworks! I went to Porto Santo about 12 years ago. Nice place and the big island is great.Climate at sea level there are always 20-35C´and at 5 miles inside in top mountains can be snow in winters... |

#3 They Stooge to Conga (1943), a 3 Stooges film where Moe dresses up like Hitler, and tells Nazis to jump, which they do, when the plane is in flight... |
