Passenger’s Chants Delay Aircraft Take-off
22nd December 2010
Read it.
An Air Malta flight from London Heathrow was forced to return to the terminal after a passenger started praying and chanting in the aisle just before take-off.
The man got to his knees on Tuesday and started chanting in Arabic and ignored instructions by cabin crew to return to his seat, a spokesman for the airline said.
Passengers panicked when they heard the man chanting, and he had to be restrained by passengers and crew, according to media reports.
Oh, will the Islamophobia never cease?
