United flight diverted to Alaska after man spreads feces in lavatories
A United Airlines flight from Chicago to Hong Kong was diverted to Alaska after the flight crew reported a man on board had vandalized two airplane lavatories by spreading human waste, airport police said on Friday.
“We received a report of a passenger who had messed up the bathrooms with his own feces,” Anchorage Airport Police Lieutenant Joe Gamache said by telephone.
The man, a 22-year-old Vietnamese passport holder with U.S. residency, was escorted off the plane in handcuffs on Thursday night and met by law enforcement in the terminal, Gamache said.
After being interviewed by authorities through a translator, he was transported to an Anchorage hospital for a mental evaluation.
The man made no threats and did not try to interfere with the flight crew, Gamache said, adding that no charges have been filed.

According to WBTV via Distractify, eyewtiness Sherry Ketchie said:
“He had his clothes on, at that point, and then he started standing there with his arms crossed and hollering at the lady at the desk.

“Luckily he wore a thick long sleeve shirt or there would have been blood. He will have a few bruises in the morning.”
Airline officials say the woman was removed for “causing a disturbance”.

Man detained for five days after hurting flight attendant on China Southern flight http://str.sg/Zpp
A Chinese man on board China Southern flight CZ814 from Hefei to Guangzhou was arrested and spent five days in a holding cell for his behaviour earlier this week.
Chinese media outlets reported that the passenger, surnamed Xia, took the liberty to seat himself in the business class cabin despite purchasing only an economy class ticket.
According to The Nanfang Insider, he proceeded to take his shoes off and put them in the seat in front of him, ignoring requests from the flight attendants to remove them.
He then made a further nuisance of himself by going to the toilet and asking for hot water while the plane was taking off. Things got to a head when he shouted at a female attendant who had asked him politely to sit down, even grabbing her arm in a rough manner and leaving bruises on it.
Xia was detained by police when the plane landed on Dec 16.

Violent scuffle breaks out on plane over noisy kid, cramped seats http://goo.gl/b8x6X9
Cramped seats and noisy kids – these are just some of the pet peeves that you might typically encounter on board a flight.
However, a disagreement over these ended up in a hair-pulling incident between three parties on an Air China flight from Chongqing to Hong Kong on Dec 17.
CCTV News said in a Facebook post that two female passengers got into a “simple quarrel” when they complained that a child sitting behind them was making too much noise.
The child’s family responded by saying the women had reclined their seats back down too far and was causing their child discomfort.
News reports said the disagreement quickly escalated to a fight and the women began shoving and pulling each other’s hair on the plane.
According to a report in the Chongqing Morning Post, the argument continued to escalate to the point that the crew even considered turning the plane around.
…
Fortunately, the flight managed to continue on to the destination and the women and their families were subsequently questioned by the police after they disembarked, said online reports.

AirAsia: Pilot turned back for passengers’ safety
PETALING JAYA: The pilot of a chartered Thai AirAsia flight from Bangkok to Nanjing, China, decided to return to Bangkok after an agitated passenger started uttering threats to bring down the plane.
The captain made the decision after the passenger’s female companion, believed to be his girlfriend, had earlier splashed hot water on a flight attendant.
The couple were among passengers in a tour group, who were initially not happy at not being able to sit next to each other on the flight that took off at 5.55pm on Thursday from Bangkok’s Don Mueang Airport.
Assisted by flight attendants, other passengers made way so the duo could be seated together. However, an argument soon broke out between the couple.
“During the flight, the passenger exhibited dissatisfaction with a member of the cabin crew by using hot water to scald her, injuring the attendant.
“The captain decided to return the plane to Don Mueang Airport, deeming her actions as endangering other passengers and impeding in-flight service,” AirAsia said in a statement.
The hot water was believed to be the broth inside a cup noodle container.

Runway Girl Network Brisbane-bound plane turns back to Singapore as passengers restrain man in a rage http://au.news.yahoo.com/qld/a/25185693/brisbane-bound-plane-turned-back-to-singapore-amid-violent-passenger-report/ … #AirRage #PaxEx
Passengers on a flight from Singapore to Brisbane say they were forced to restrain a raging Australian man who damaged a seat and bit a fellow passenger on the arm.
Etihad Airways flight 470 was forced to return to Singapore, where the man was escorted from the plane.
The flight later landed safely in Brisbane.
Passenger Tracey Mewis said the man, believed to be in his early 30s, had been acting strangely in Singapore before their initial boarding.
“We thought he was just off his face – he hassled two lots of couples,” she said.
“They did talk to him before he got on the plane, they pulled him aside.
“Once we got on the plane he was OK for about 40 minutes.”
But he then ripped the TV screen out from the seat in front of him and attacked passengers and crew.
“He assaulted one of the male flight attendants and then guys on the plane just pinned him down and held him down and restrained him,” Ms Mewis said.
One of the men who restrained him, Rob Metaich, arrived in Brisbane with a bandaged arm.
“I had to apprehend him and in doing so just got a bit of a bite on the arm,” he said.
“It’s my birthday today too.
“I don’t know what was going on with him, maybe a bit of substance abuse, he was clearly drunk.”
Fellow passenger Callum Glass said the man seemed to be afraid of a threat to the aircraft.
“He just started attacking the TV screen and hitting it, and he ripped it out thinking there was a bomb behind it,” Mr Glass said.
‘I thought we’d been hijacked’
Fellow passenger David Bradbury also helped restrain the man.
“He was quoting religious quotes and all sorts of things.
“Just for the blink of an eye I thought we’d been hijacked, just for a blink of an eye and then I realised what was happening.”
Another passenger said the situation could have been much worse.
“What if he grabbed hold of a door and opened a door? People weren’t strapped in at that stage,” Brian Schillinger said.
“It could have been a catastrophe as far as I’m concerned.”

Crikey.com.au Etihad incident? How should air rage be dealt with?
The diversion of pilot attention to what is going on in the cabin rather than the cockpit is the point at which air rage becomes really serious
The latest publicised air rage incident on an Etihad jet forced to return to Singapore while flying to Brisbane is the type of incident neither airlines nor the relevant authorities have ever been able to prevent, yet may have already been able to reduce in terms of frequency.
The reports suggest that the offending passenger drew attention to himself prior to boarding, but then conformed to the behavioral standards of the airline and Singapore Airport long enough for him to be allowed to continue to the aircraft through the various identity and security related processes that are in place.
Then less than an hour later, he may have suffered from a paranoid delusion, or whatever, and reportedly damaged the interior of the jet, and assaulted persons on board, causing the flight to return to Singapore.
Whatever the cause of the incident, airlines have to deal with two critical tests in making their decisions in such incidents. They are the risk that the disrupting passenger poses to other immediate vicinity passengers and cabin crew, for whom the airlines have clear duties of care, and the major consideration, the overall safety of the flight.
