Three Drunk Passengers Force Emergency Landing in Russia

Jul 16th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

Two separate incidents involving three drunk passengers forced a Pulkovo Airlines plane to make an emergency landing shortly after taking off from St. Petersburg on its way to Turkey. Drunk man number one reportedly slapped a female passenger sitting next to him after she declined his romantic advances. The second set of drunks got into an unrelated right over an unreported issue. All three were arrested upon landing. (Editor’s Note: I’m not reinforcing stereotypes, I’m just reporting the news…)
