British Airways flight attendant found dancing naked in business class
A British Airways flight attendant has reportedly been found dancing naked mid-flight.
The hostie, 41, was meant to be serving drinks and meals to passengers, instead, after a search, colleagues found him completely naked and jumping up and down in one of the plane's business class toilets.
Clearly unable to continue his shift, the man was given a pair of pyjamas to change into before being seated in a first class seat and strapped in for the remainder of the 10 hour flight headed to London from San Francisco,

reports.
There were around 470 passengers and crew on board the packed double-decker Airbus A380 at the time.
'We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working. It is an extraordinary thing to do,' one co-worker told The Sun.
'The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else.
'Rather than asking passengers 'chicken or beef', he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet. It was a long time before he was located and he was completely out of it.
'Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on me.'
On landing, the man, who disembarked in a wheelchair, was given medical attention and arrested by police on suspicion of being unfit for duty.
The incident is being investigated and the flight attendant has been suspended.

New police search begins in hunt for missing Madeleine McCann
Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Portuguese and German police on Tuesday started a new search in the hunt for missing British toddler Madeleine McCann -- 18 years after she disappeared while on holiday with her parents. Madeleine, aged three, disappeared from an apartment in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal, sparking an international campaign to find her and unprecedented media coverage. A previous search of a lake near the resort two years ago yielded no results, but on Tuesday investigators were back in a part of nearby Lagos to hunt for clues. Several police vehicles were seen driving down a dirt road and a Portuguese police spokeswoman confirmed that the search had begun, with about 25 German investigators present. The new searches are expected to continue until Friday and are being conducted at the request of German authorities investigating Christian Brueckner, a convicted rapist who is suspected of having killed Madeleine. According to the British tabloid The Sun, investigators are equipped with ground radar technology that can scan the ground down to 4.5 metres (15 feet) in depth. The area includes a cottage where Brueckner was living near the Ocean Club resort and undergrowth. The area is dotted with wells and ditches, it added. Portuguese police refused to comment on the report when contacted by AFP. A mobile phone registered in Brueckner's name was traced close to the family's accommodation on the night Madeleine went missing. - Determined - Brueckner, 48, is currently serving a seven-year prison sentence in Germany for the rape in 2005 of a 72-year-old American woman in Praia da Luz. His sentence is due to end in September. He was acquitted in October 2024 in Germany at trial for two sexual assaults and three rapes committed in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. The German authorities in 2020 said they were convinced of Brueckner's involvement in Madeleine's disappearance, which gained worldwide publicity and has seen several false leads. He has not been charged in connection with the McCann case. Brueckner, who according to German media had a string of previous convictions, including for sexual offences, assault and theft, worked as an odd-job man during his 10 years in the Algarve, but also burgled hotel rooms and holiday apartments. At the time of Madeleine's disappearance he was living in a camper van. A former neighbour in Portugal told Sky News television in 2020 that he was "always a bit angry, driving fast up and down the lane, and then one day, around 2006, he just disappeared without a word". He returned to Germany in 2007 -- the year Madeleine disappeared -- settling in Hanover, but still spent time in Portugal. On the 18th anniversary of their daughter's disappearance on May 3 this year, Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry McCann said they were still determined to find out what happened. "The years appear to be passing even more quickly and whilst we have no significant news to share, our determination to 'leave no stone unturned' is unwavering," they wrote on the website. "We will do our utmost to achieve this." lf-mdm/phz/yad Originally published as New police search begins in hunt for missing Madeleine McCann

‘Drunk idiots' flip car with bare hands
Shocking footage of a beloved vintage car getting flipped onto its side has been shared by its shattered owner. Two men can be seen approaching a pristine 1972 Fiat 500, painted in a colourful orange, around 4am on Friday, May 2, in London, reports The Sun. As the pair stumble towards the vintage car, described by the owner as his 'pride and joy', one of them can be seen attempting to open the door. Discovering it locked, he appears to then motion to his pal to come over to try and lift it up. The pair then grab the tiny car from its side and begin lifting it at a 45 degree angle before the car's weight begins to shift further away, pulling it down towards the street. Losing control of the vintage car, the vandals step back and let go, sending the 'characterful' vehicle tumbling onto its side, slamming straight into the bitumen. As it crashes into the road, the cowards can then be seen fleeing towards the camera and away from the Fiat, which gently rocks back and forth in the middle of the street. The car remained there until later in the morning, when the heartbroken owner discovered his beloved vehicle had been vandalised. Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'I was blissfully unaware of anything untoward until I opened my front door to take my dog out for his early morning walk.' 'I couldn't believe my eyes, instead of seeing my lovely vintage orange Fiat 500 I came face-to-face with the chassis. I was totally shocked, it was a totally surreal experience.' He said the vehicle was blocking traffic on the 'narrow street', despite the car's small stature. Thankfully, some nearby builders came to his assistance to help put the car back on its four wheels. The distressed owner also told of how he 'feared for the worst' when the car was brought back upright. He said he was concerned his 'sweet little car' could have 'sustained a lot of damage'. Fortunately, upon flipping it back up, the owner discovered no broken glass, and just a broken door handle, as well as some dints and scratches on the classic vehicle. There was also a pool of oil that had formed after the fluid leaked from the motor. Venting his frustrations, he said: 'I just couldn't understand how anyone would want to vandalise such a sweet little car.' 'I still feel very emotional, it's my pride and joy.' 'People often stop to take photos my little characterful car, [but] no one has ever hurt it.' In direct response to the heartless vandals, the owner berated their cowardice, adding: 'They should pick on someone their own size.' The owner had shared the shocking footage on social media of the 'two drunk idiots', drawing in sympathy from viewers. One commented: 'What was the point of that? What did they gain from doing that except shame?' 'Running away from something you did proves you are ashamed of what you did.' Another added: 'Absolutely gutted for you, man.' 'Such a disrespectful thing to do. Hope the damage isn't too bad.' A third said: 'Hope they will be found to pay for the damage,' while a fourth added: 'That's despicable – that's someone's pride and joy.'

Flight attendant found naked, dancing in bathroom after going missing
A British Airways crew member was found dancing naked in a business class toilet at 30,000ft. The steward is suspected of using drugs before the incident, which happened as he was supposed to be serving an in-flight meal. Colleagues searched the aircraft when he went missing as they handed out food and drinks on the busy jet to London's Heathrow from the US. The in-flight crew boss was then stunned to find him completely naked and jigging up and down in the Club World cabin loo. He was bundled into a spare pair of pyjamas reserved for First Class passengers on the flight from San Francisco. The steward was then escorted to the First Class cabin, where he was buckled into a luxury seat for the remainder of the ten-and-a-half hour journey. BA bosses alerted police, who met the double-decker Airbus A380-800 on landing at 11am loca; time last Sunday to arrest him. He also received medical attention and was taken from the plane — which had around 470 passengers and crew on board — in a wheelchair. Angry crew members had to work the entire flight without breaks to cover for him. The steward was suspended from duty while investigations continue. One worker said: 'We think the guy popped pills when he was meant to be working. It is an extraordinary thing to do. 'The plane was cruising at 37,000ft over the Atlantic, but this bloke seemed to be higher than anyone else. 'Rather than asking passengers 'chicken or beef', he was stripping off and dancing in the toilet. It was a long time before he was located and he was completely out of it. 'Not only is it really dangerous, it is a crazy way to end your BA career. This job can do ridiculous things to people, but staging a one-man disco in a Club World toilet is a new one on me.' British Airways said it is a police matter. Scotland Yard was approached for comment.
