| Practice run (?) causes flight diversion |
| 2011-03-31 |
| A Portland, Ore.-bound flight made a "level two emergency" stop in Chicago Tuesday night after passengers said three men, reportedly of Middle Eastern descent, were acting strangely, even fighting with flight crews. At least one of the men walked back to the area of the plane where flight attendants work, laid down and began complaining of illness. That man engaged in "some sort of altercation" with the flight attendant, a passenger said. At one point another man, who was pacing back and forth in the aisles, also got into a "verbal altercation" with a flight attendant, according to a passenger. Other men of “Middle Eastern descent” were passing notes and “writing in their notebooks,” a source told NBC Chicago. United contacted officials at O'Hare and alerted them that the flight, which originated in Washington D.C., would stop. The flight was diverted to Chicago. Three passengers were removed from the aircraft, and the remaining passengers were re-screened through security, before being sent on their way. |

| #6 Thats why you always take an asile seat, and elbow the moslems in the larynx when they get uppity on a flight. Scumbags. Charge them for the diversion, gate time, and sue them or their financiers if they do not pay. This childish bullshit happens way too much. If I see it on a craft - you had better believe I will act. |
