Dramatic moment boozed up passenger is hauled off busy plane after VOMITING on another flier
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a drunk man is thrown off a flight for vomiting on another passenger - moments before the plane takes off. Cabin footage showed the disgraced man looking completely dazed as he leaned against the seat in front of him. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A drunk passenger was booted off a 13-hour flight Credit: Jam Press 3 He was reportedly seen with an empty bottle of whisky Credit: Jam Press 3 He was booted off before the flight took off 30 minutes later Credit: Jam Press The repulsive ordeal took place on an EVA Air flight from Taiwan to Austria - a gruelling 13-hour journey. The clip was recorded by another passenger who was alerted to the chaos on May 25. In the video, the boozed up man is seen standing and hunched over the seat in front of him. Desperate flight attendants attempt to pull him out of his seat - but the man does not move an inch. He then tries to sit back down again, and manages to do so while the dumbfounded crew watch on. A security guard in a high vis jackets is even seen next to the man before crew try to lift him up again. Some of the flight attendants removed his rucksack and took it away. He eventually gets up, still appearing to be absolutely out of it. Fellow passengers reportedly saw the man with an empty bottle of whisky. It is unclear who exactly he threw up on, or whether the victim was able to clean himself up properly. Pigeons caused chaos on a Delta Airlines flight Saturday night at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport One of them told local media: "The cabin door was already closed, and then that person started vomiting. "There was an older man on his right, and when he saw him vomiting, he immediately stood up." They added: The flight attendants later helped move that older man's seat, but that whole row was then blocked off and no one could sit there." Staff later forced the man to get off the flight so they could clean the seat. After that, the plane was allowed to depart for its long 13-hour trip. But it was delayed by about half an hour, according to What's The Jam. Pilots made up for the lost time while in the air, and actually managed to land in Vienna, Austria, on time. The witness onboard also said: "It smelt heavily of ginger duck with lots of alcohol. "He probably drank it before boarding." They added: "His friend wasn't asked to get off, only he himself was removed."

Teaching assistant sent naked pictures of herself to teen on Snapchat after calling him ‘good lad' in X-rated messages
Mum's messages were 'friendly' at first but turned X-rated PAEDO MISS Teaching assistant sent naked pictures of herself to teen on Snapchat after calling him 'good lad' in X-rated messages Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PAEDO teaching assistant sent naked photos of herself to a teen boy on Snapchat after calling him a "good lad". Chelsey Knox also asked the schoolboy, who is aged under 16, to send pictures of his privates after she began messaging him. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Chelsey Knox sent X-rated photos to a teen boy Credit: Facebook The mum, 33, sent him a video of herself in the shower and shared two topless photos with him. Knox then sent a picture of herself using a sex toy to the teen, Kent Online reports. She is now facing prison after pleading guilty to engaging in sexual communication with a child. The teaching assistant also admitted two counts of causing a child to watch an image of sexual activity and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. Sevenoaks Magistrates' Court heard she carried out the vile offences between March 24 and April 5 last year. She first started messaging the boy in February that year but the texts were not "sexual". Rajni Prashar, prosecuting, said: "She then sent a message asking him to come to her house, and she sent a picture of a bottle of alcohol and said there was a party. 'She also sent a message saying he was a good lad and she had her legs on show, but she then sent a topless photo and a video of her in the shower and she asked him to send a picture of his penis.' Knox was bailed on the condition she signs on to the sex offenders' register. The mum, from Kent, will be sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court on a date to be set. Knox previously found herself in court after she chased and attacked a woman she had followed in her car. JPs heard the victim was left with cuts to her left ear and lip, as well as severe bruising to her face. Knox was handed a suspended 24 week sentence after admitting actual bodily harm. 4 Knox began messaging the boy in February last year Credit: Instagram 4 She sent him naked photos and a video in the shower Credit: Instagram

‘It took years off my life' – Fabio Wardley lived off ice cream and noodles after brutal Frazer Clarke fight
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FABIO WARDLEY resorted to a diet of ice cream and noodles after his brutal fight against Frazer Clarke. The pair put on a thriller over 12 rounds in March of last year - which ended in a draw. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Fabio Wardley's horror nose injury against Frazer Clarke Credit: Getty 5 He was unable to chew for days afterwards Credit: PA 5 The bout ended a draw with Wardley winning the rematch by KO Credit: Reuters Wardley was left covered in blood due to his busted nose and a jaw injury left him barely able to chew in the days after. He told The Times: 'It's a fate that you have to accept if you do this sport properly. "I probably should've gone to the hospital afterwards. I remember being sat in my hotel room and I couldn't sleep because my head was pounding, like vibrating. "When I lay down, I felt sick. If I sat up, I felt sick. My face looked like the Elephant Man. My nose was stitched up. READ MORE IN BOXING 'I was confused' Wardley thought he was being SCAMMED when Usyk asked him for sparring "I'd bitten my tongue about 100 times. I couldn't chew for three days because of my jaw, so I just ate ice cream and noodles, but that's part of it. "Those fights are going to happen and you might get knocked out, but if you carry that around with you and hesitate because you're scared of it, it could have a negative impact on how you fight and almost make it more likely to happen. You've got to just take it on the chin.' Wardley scored a knockdown in round five and Clarke had a point off to even the judges scorecards. But Wardley won the rematch six months later with a brutal first-round knockout that left Clarke hospitalised. 5 CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Now the Ipswich super-fan returns on Saturday at Portman Road against Australian Justis Huni. Huni won the amateur World Youth Championships in 2016 - the same year Wardley had his first unlicensed white collar bout. Fabio Wardley prepares for dream Portman Road homecoming fight Wardley said: 'Huni is another opponent from a completely different end of entry in boxing terms. 'After starting in white-collar, anything was a win. This wasn't realistic, but you always imagine.' Wardley had four fights on the unlicensed circuit - winning them all by KO - after foregoing an amateur career. Now he is on the cusp of a world title shot as part of one of British boxing's most unlikely success stories. Wardley said: 'I fought at the O2, then I headlined the O2, I've fought in Saudi Arabia as the chief support to Tyson Fury and to Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol. "It keeps feeling like we've peaked and that it can't get any better and now I'm fighting at the stadium in my hometown. "I'm genuinely on the edge of a world title, which sounds crazy for me just to say.'
