Japan plane diverted after man tried opening door mid-air
A Japanese plane headed from Tokyo to Texas had to make an emergency landing after a passenger tried to open one of its doors during the flight.All Nippon Airways (ANA) Flight 114 was diverted to Seattle hours after taking off on Saturday "due to an unruly passenger", the airline said.Port of Seattle police told media they had been notified of a man who "attempted to open exit doors during the flight".The man, who was not identified, was "having a medical crisis" and had to be restrained by other passengers and flight crew, police said.
He was later taken to a hospital. It is unclear if he will face any charges."The safety of our passengers and crew are our top priority and we applaud the efforts of local law enforcement for their support," ANA said in a statement.While the plane was waiting on the tarmac of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a second person was removed from the flight for "unruly behaviour", authorities said.Flight data shows that the plane made it to its destination, George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, on Saturday around 12:40 local time (17:40 GMT) - four hours after its scheduled arrival time.This is the latest in a string of similar incidents.In April, a Jetstar flight from Bali, Indonesia was forced to turn around during its journey to Melbourne, Australia, after a passenger similarly tried to open a plane door in the air.Last November, a man who tried to open the plane door during an American Airlines flight was restrained and tied up by fellow passengers with duct tape.And in November 2023, nine passengers of an Asiana Airlines flight were sent to hospital with breathing difficulties after a man successfully opened the aircraft's emergency exit door prior to it landing at a South Korean airport.

Man who went on 2,000-person nude cruise reveals the golden rule 'everyone knew' they had to follow
A traveller on a cruise ship carrying 2,000 fellow nudists has revealed the one golden rule everyone taking part knew they must follow. The 67-year-old man opened up about his experiences as he urged internet users to 'ask me anything' about his naked jaunt across the waters with like-minded naturists. He insisted everyone taking part was 'pretty well-behaved' - and key to their common sense of purpose was an implicit agreement about not taking photographs. The passenger had booked a cruise via the Texas-based travel company Bare Necessities, which has been operating clothing-optional ship charters since 1990. And writing anonymously on website Reddit, the man invited questions from other users about the experience - prompting further tips about best behaviour on board. While there have been group photographs taken and shared online, filming was kept to a minimum out of respect for others, he suggested. The poster insisted: 'These are pretty well-behaved nudists and they know the rules - no photos without express permission.' He described the 2,000-strong travelling party as 'a crowd with lots of nudist experience'. He added: 'Everyone knows you can't take pictures of other people. I was much less worried here than I have been at nude beaches. 'Almost no one had phones with them outside their cabin. There were many signs posted. 'There were a lot of staff from the charter company whose job it was to enforce good naturist etiquette. 'And I've spent time online researching nudism and I've never a single online photograph from the cruise except for the group shots that people voluntarily pose for. For those reasons, I wasn't concerned.' The unnamed man told of being on a 2,000-passenger Carnival cruise liner with his 61-year-old wife for a seven-day round trip from Tampa in Florida, with stops in Mexico and Honduras along the way. He reiterated to other Reddit users that the trip - his first ever nudist cruise - was 'not a swingers cruise or a sex positive environment' and 'this was a crowd with lots of nudist experience'. Explaining the ins and outs of nudist cruising, he revealed that the captain 'generally makes an announcement after exiting a port when clothes can be removed' and 'usually it's about thirty minutes'. The same then happens in reverse, when the ship starts nearing its next port of call. He added that people 'usually take advantage of the opportunity to be nude since that's the point of the cruise'. The man also told how all cruise vessel employees were clothed 'except for one male/female duo' who performed in the theatre. He said that from his understanding, no employee from the cruise line is 'obligated' to work on the nude charters if they did not feel comfortable. He added: 'Unquestionably, there were relatively few younger couples [and] it definitely skewed older. 'Certainly most were in their 50s to 70s. Many gay men. Not many gay women that I could tell, but I would think they would be comfortable. It's an accepting crowd.' Other commonly accepted rules he described included an agreement that people would not sit on surfaces naked without placing a towel beneath them. He wrote: 'That's not a difficult concept. Nudists are as interested in hygiene as much as if not more than the next guy.' He also tried to explain the apparent appeal of stripping off for a cruise trip, saying: 'The "why" is because it's a nice feeling to be nude, just like it's a nice feeling for a man to be without a shirt at the beach. The Reddit poster faced a seris of follow-up questions and comments about his revelations 'Skinny dipping is great. Being nude at some of the world's nicest beaches is great. 'Most people who try nudism love it. YOLO. Please don't write that the only people who are on nude beaches are the ones who shouldn't be there. That's crabbed and trite.' His Reddit debate seemed to provoke plenty of intrigue, while there were mixed emotions about whether such a holiday would appeal. One commenter said: 'I went to a nude beach a few years ago and actually enjoyed myself. 'I was not comfortable going fully nude but my experience was basically what you are describing - very chill and people were nice in a non sexual way. 'I think people do think about it the wrong way, it was a very non sexual experience and I enjoyed it! 'No one was weird or creepy as we were quite young females at the time. 10/10 experience.' Another wrote: 'I'm jealous, I love being nude, but not so sure about wanting to be nude around 100s of other people. So glad you had fun and this AMA has been super interesting.' Further comments included questions such as 'Anyone actually attractive?' and 'How do you get into this? Asking for a friend'. The initial poster was also told: 'Hope you remembered to get dressed before disembarking.' Unimpressed sceptics included one person who replied: 'That would be disgusting. Don't know why you would do this when you could just wear clothes.' And another wrote: 'What's fun about watching people being nude? Not trying to be rude, just trying to wrap my head around this as an activity.'

EXCLUSIVE Moment 'mother and wannabe influencer daughter' are taken away by police after forcing UK flight to Jamaica to divert to Canada after parent 'shouted and swore at staff demanding to get off in mid-air'
A mother and her wannabe influencer daughter were taken away by police after they shouted and swore at airline staff during a UK flight to Jamaica which was forced to make an emergency landing in Canada. In a chaotic clip posted to TikTok, the duo of blonde women were filmed causing a scene while being led off a flight from Manchester to the Caribbean island on May 28. The camerawoman, named Mandy, told MailOnline that the flight was delayed over two hours from 9:15am to 11:40am, and while they had been waiting to board, the content creator began shouting at her mum. The furious passenger said the pair had been drinking before boarding the aircraft, and in a TikTok posted before the incident, the younger woman known as Angel, showed off a cooler full of wine and prosecco at a bar. Mandy said when they eventually boarded, she sat in her seat in row 13, with the mother and daughter sat around nine rows behind in row 22. The plane departed and everything appeared fine, until the pair allegedly began drinking from the plane's duty free. According to the Mandy, the content creating daughter quickly began swearing and shouting at staff saying she wanted to get off mid flight. 'The staff asked her politely God know how many times to calm down, and they made her sit down in her seat. 'They started to carry on again and the airline made her sit back down again and the captain announced that due to reckless behaviour there will be a delay in Jamaica as she will be arrested,' she said. Mandy said the airline staff managed to calm down the rowdy pair for a moment but they quickly started causing chaos again. 'They then put Angel to the back of the rows, strapped her in the seat,' the infuriated woman said, before an announcement was made over the PA system that the flight would be making an emergency landing in Canada. Once they hand landed, police officers boarded the plane and arrested the mother first after she allegedly kicked the cops. 'They cuffed her and then the famous TikTok woman, Angel, I believe, got arrested,' she said. Following the commotion, Mandy said they eventually arrived in Jamaica at 7:30pm, over six hours later than the original landing time of 12.40pm. In her footage of the incident, dozens of passengers can be seen clapping and cheering as uniformed cops make their way down the aisle to the rear end of the plane where the women were sitting. 'She's not messing about now is she?' says the woman filming the incident unfolded. As the drama continues at the back of the aircraft, nearby passengers can be heard talking about how 'the children must be petrified' amid the unrest. Two officers are seen surrounding the TikToker who is raised from her seat before the camera pans to the mother being led down the aisle by officers. 'That's the mother,' Mandy says. 'Go on, go in cuffs,' she adds. The mother being removed by the cop begins shouting down the plane to her daughter. She is seen turning around dramatically as the officer attempts to move her down the aisle to the front of the plane but she does not give in. The mother begins shouting in the face of the policeman who takes no notice and continues guiding her while her hands are restrained behind her back. When she is out of sight, the camera pans back to the rear end of the plane where the daughter remains cornered in her seat by two other officers. Even out of the aircraft's aisle, the mother can be heard screaming 'let me go' while passengers on board start booing the loud flyer. A stewardess blocks the aisle passage, assisting the officer to keep her contained as baffled onlookers try to peer into the secluded area to catch a glimpse of the rowdy passenger. When she stops yelling, several flyers begin to clap again and the women are guided off the plane by the officers. Angel can be seen smiling and telling the other passengers 'bye' as she is led off the aircraft in handcuffs. 'Aww no flying for two years,' says Mandy. 'Journey home, enjoy Canada,' she adds. As the pair are fully removed, the plane begin to cheer and clap once again and the chaotic clip comes to an end. Several viewers left comments beneath the post describing their shock and horror at the incident. One said: 'Omg what a shown up for them, I'd be mortified if this was my family, why cant people just sit and enjoy their flight instead of causing drama and delaying planes and people'. Another added their own experience: 'On a recent flight to Egypt a man was kicking off at the cabin crew for not selling him more alcohol, he was warned multiple times but he carried on, police were waiting for him when we landed'.

CDC tells Americans to CANCEL their flights after finding world's most infectious disease is spreading on planes
The CDC is urging Americans to cancel their upcoming flights if they are not vaccinated against measles. The agency has upgraded its health travel warning after discovering the virus - one of the most infectious in the world - is spreading on US airplanes. A previous recommendation that said Americans should 'consider making alternative travel plans' if they could not get vaccinated before departing now says travelers should 'consider postponing their trip.' Estimates suggest around 10 percent of adults may lack immunity, either due to never receiving the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine or because their immunity has diminished over time — the equivalent of 25million adults. Measles infections have been detected at the country's biggest airports in recent months amid a resurgence of the virus linked to low vaccination rates. Now, after investigating dozens of patients who were contagious while flying, the CDC confirmed at least one case where the virus was spread during air travel. All US travelers are now being recommended to be fully vaccinated for measles before going on any international flights. And doctors are being advised to give additional measles vaccines to domestic travelers going to Texas, where over 700 people have been infected so far this year. The CDC's latest update, published Wednesday, reads: 'Travelers can catch measles in many travel settings including travel hubs like airports and train stations, on public transportation like airplanes and trains, at tourist attractions, and at large, crowded events.' Since the beginning of this year, the CDC has received 62 reports of travelers infected with measles while flying into the US or within the country, a CDC spokesperson told CBS News. An investigation of 50 of those passengers showed the agency measles spread during air travel in at least one of those situations. The CDC said this is usually based on confirmed infectious individuals sitting next to each other. The latest airport warning came Friday as three passengers flying into Denver International Airport on the same Turkish Airlines flight tested positive for measles. One of them was a vaccinated adult. As of 2025, precise data on the number of US adults unvaccinated against measles is limited. However, historical estimates suggest that approximately 10 percent of adults may lack immunity, either due to never receiving the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine or because their immunity has diminished over time. Given the US adult population of about 258 million, this could translate to roughly 25 million adults who are potentially unprotected against measles. Around 90 percent of confirmed cases are tied to outbreaks in the US rather than travel outside the country. Symptoms - which include a blotchy rash, fever, cough and runny nose - typically develop seven to 21 days after initial exposure. Measles spreads via airborne droplets released in coughs and sneezes, which can hang in the air for up to two hours after a patient passes. It is particularly dangerous to young children, with the CDC saying one in 20 unvaccinated children who are infected develop pneumonia while one in 1,000 suffer deadly brain swelling. A total of 1,088 Americans have been infected so far this year, and two unvaccinated young girls have died.
