A husband and wife's mid-air fight causes flight to divert
A Lufthansa A380 from Munich to Bangkok has been forced to make an unscheduled stop in India due to an angry confrontation between a husband and wife. Flight LH772 was en route to Thailand when the spouses allegedly started arguing, reported German media outlet Bild. The fight continued to escalate and the woman reportedly said she felt “threatened”. It was at this point the man allegedly started to throw food, smash a mobile phone, and tried to set a blanket on fire. He also started to undress and shouted: “I’ll kill you all.” The pilots decided to divert and after being refused permission to land in Pakistan, the plane made its way to Delhi. On arrival, six soldiers came on board and escorted a passenger off. Another unnamed person on board told Bild that it was a “scary situation”. They added that at one stage, all the monitors were switched off so the warring couple didn’t know they were landing in India instead of Thailand. The other passengers were told individually by the crew. The flight eventually continued on to Bangkok, landing two hours late. The fate of the passenger, who is German, has not been revealed as yet.<br/>
