Recently, Virgin Airlines (Virgin Australia) seems to be very uneasy. Just a few days ago, because of a flat tire when the plane took off, it hovered over Brisbane for more than three hours and got the news.
Things have happened again these two days.
On Thursday night, a female passenger reportedly threatened to kill everyone on Virgin flight VA697 from Melbourne to Perth, forcing the flight to Adelaide.
According to passengers on board, flight VA 697 took off from Melbourne at 9:09 last night. About 90 minutes after the flight, a female passenger started making a noise and crying wolf: "you TMD let me off the plane!" Don't come near me! I can't breathe! "
When the cabin attendant tried to appease her, she threatened: "if you don't stop the plane immediately, I'm going to kill everyone on the plane!"
One passenger recalled: "the passenger, like crazy, threatened to kill all passengers."
The captain chose to divert the route to Adelaide, where the Boeing 737 landed at Adelaide airport at 10: 22 p.m. Local time.
Five federal police boarded the plane and took the women out.
Her luggage was also taken with her for examination.
Earlier, Twitter reported that the incident involved two suspects, was wrong.
The female passenger is indeed with another male passenger.
The man was taken with him, but he did not threaten anyone.
After refueling at Adelaide airport, the plane took off again at 1:13 local time today (June 8) to Perth and arrived in Perth at 3:12 local time, about four hours behind schedule.
The flight, which was supposed to leave at 8:30 local time in Melbourne, was delayed for nearly 40 minutes due to weather and was delayed by a detour to Adelaide for a long time.
"it feels like we're escaping from hell," one passenger told. "the four-and-a-half-hour journey feels like seven or eight hours!"
Virgin Airlines has confirmed the incident, the spokesman said: "the safety of our passengers and crew members has always been our priority. The captain decided to bypass Adelaide, who had been taken away by federal police, after a passenger on flight VA697 from Melbourne to Perth deliberately breached safety rules on board. The plane landed in Perth this morning and we apologize for the inconvenience it caused to our guests. "
Say the plane is afraid to encounter this kind of thing, meet this kind of person!
Flight late or something, really not important, in the height of ten thousand meters will really frighten to death ah!
