Flight UA20 on 9 July was forced to divert to the airport of Chicago O’Hare, Illinois, United States, over an unruly business class passenger. The Boeing 777-200 (registered N74007) departed from Houston, destination Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The passenger in seat 11G melted down over not having his first choice of meal available. Before landing, the aircraft had to dump fuel.

FFS. Just push him out.

Another story said he was intoxicated. I wonder if he managed to get drunk in the two hours from Houston to Chicago.

Also, what liability does he have?

Hopefully he is going to pay for the fuel and a round of drinks for the rest of the plane.

Not a surprise.

What is the saying?

Ah yes, dumping jet fuel into the lake. At least they dumped it in the Illinois section of the water and not Wisconsin or Michigan!

Gotta keep the alewife population down, one way or another.
