British Tabloid Travel Headline of the Day: ‘Riot at 30,000 Feet…Over Reclining Seat’

From The Mirror: “A British Airways pilot was forced to make an emergency landing after a passenger reclined his seat, annoyed the man behind him—and sparked a mid-air riot.” Twenty people were caught up in the brawl on the 747 from Lagos, Nigeria to London’s Heathrow airport, according to Mirror crime correspondent Justin Penrose. The weapons of choice: fists, bottles and belts. Sounds like the passengers would have been better off flying The “Zinedine Zidane 10.” (Via Jaunted.)
