Note. The text does not seem to have been well researched. For example, this quote is
Earlier this month, a plane from London to Washington DC made an emergency landing, escorted by fighters, after passengers alerted crew to the behaviour of a female traveller. It later emerged she had suffered a panic attack.
She did not just suffer from a panic attack, but was behaving crazily and issuing threats. Of course, this is just background, not part of the story. But I wish the reporter (the editor?) had been less sloppy, and I wonder why they preferred to remember and present the crazy woman case the way they did.Update. Why did I write "escorted off"? Because that is what the subtitle of the article said. Of course, it is not what the article said! I should have expected that from the Independent.
