Air NZ plane diverted to Tahiti after woman begins screaming during flight

A passenger on an Air NZ plane diverted to Tahiti has spoken of the concern he and others felt after a woman began screaming on the flight. Vincent Garcia, of New York, was flying to Houston with friends and family on board flight NZ28 from Auckland on Friday last week when a passenger sitting in front of him began yelling about "evil thoughts" and waving her arms. He said the incident left him and his family - including his father-in-law who was sitting next to the woman - shocked and scared. An Air NZ spokeswoman confirmed the plane was diverted to land at Pape'ete Tahiti Faa'a International Airport mid flight due to a "medical event on board". However, she declined to comment further due to privacy concerns.<br/>
