Police storm Ryanair plane arriving in Alicante from UK after 'five passengers cause mid-air chaos'
Spanish police have stormed a Ryanair flight from Newcastle to Alicante after five passengers began causing chaos in mid-air. Air traffic controllers request police board the plane, a Boeing 737 flying from Newcastle International Airport to Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, after the five passengers began being disruptive. The pilot was given special permission to land the plane as soon as possible, which it did without incident. Local media reported that after the plane landed and cops got on to identify the offending passengers, each of them fully 'cooperated with the police at all times.' MailOnline has contacted Ryanair for comment. Alicante-Elche Airport serves several holiday hotspots on the Costa Blanca, including Benidorm. Known for their sunny skies and cheap drinks, Spanish towns like Benidorm have long attracted Brits. But with these long, booze-fuelled days in the sun comes the risk of conforming to the stereotype of the badly behaved Brit abroad. In March, a British tourist was seen causing chaos in a Benidorm KFC after footage captured her hurling a napkin folder at staff and shouting insults over the state of her chicken. Wearing a multi-coloured top and floral skirt, the purple-haired woman was spotted by another shocked customer as she launched tissues over the counter. She was seen repeatedly grabbing tissues from the holder while yelling at a worker stood behind a wall in the fast food restaurant. The woman picked up straws and other paper items left scattered across the counter as she carried out her foul-mouthed rant. She can be heard shouting about the 'f****** menu' and appears to tell the staff member to 'grow up' in her fit of rage. After picking up the last of the serviettes and straws, the woman decides to lift the entire holder before raising it over her head and tossing it over across the tabletop. The worker can be heard shrieking in the background as the enraged woman begins to back out of the eatery, yelling 'you c****' while leaving the restaurant. The post, captioned 'Only in Benidorm kicking off over chicken' raised questions about British tourist's behaviour on the Spanish seaside resort. One viewer wrote: 'Tell me again why Brits have a bad rep?'

Chilling final CCTV shows moments before Brit's deadly 500ft Benidorm cliff plunge – as family fear he was murdered
HAUNTING footage shows the moments leading up to a Brit's tragic death after he fell from a 500ft cliff. CCTV captured Nathan Osman's final movements before the horror unfolded in Benidorm last year. 8 8 8 8 The dad-of-four, from Pontypridd, South Wales, was enjoying a lads holiday before his body was discovered at the base of a 500ft drop. Spanish authorities ruled the 30-year-old's death was accidental, or even a possible suicide. But his family have hit out and claim to believe there was foul play involved. His brother and sister found chilling CCTV that forced cops to launch a murder investigation. Footage shows Nathan alone at 4.08am walking along the beach promenade near his hotel. They say he was "looking fine" just hours before the tragedy. The CCTV was suffice to see a judge rule there should be a murder probe into the Brit's death. Nathan's brother Lee Evans, 39, said: "We met the Spanish authorities to discuss the case because we were not happy with the police report and believed there were discrepancies and a lack of investigation." Sister Alannah Hughes also showed police the timeline of Nathan's final movements. The siblings were able to piece the night together using various CCTV, phone records and testimonies from friends. The last known sighting was at 4.08am on the seafront. Nathan's family argue it would have been impossible for their brother to reach the cliff top by foot. They allege he was taken there by a third party. "To walk up that hill would be at least 90 minutes and it is a rural area," added Lee. And, the morning after Nathan died, there were two attempted transactions on his card. "That was at a place nine minutes drive away from the place he was found at the bottom of a 500ft cliff," said Lee. "We believe someone has disposed of his body there. "There's a person or persons who are out there who are responsible for taking him up there and for his death." The family called Nathan's death "completely out of the blue" and explained he was not "your typical Brit abroad". They described him a "very respectable" and "wise", denying he would have gotten himself into any trouble. Lee and Alannah also argued while putting forward their case that Nathan's injuries could have been sustained in an attack before he plunged from the cliff. They highlighted how his phone had been destroyed and his wallet was missing. Lee added: "My way of grieving is to keep pursuing what has really happened because I know my brother would do the same for me and I'm doing it for every other family out there. "We want to say to his kids that we have tried everything out there to get answers." The family have been supported by Labour MP for Pontypridd Alex Davies-Jones. The MP took their case to the House of Commons as well as a private investigator to help them as they deal with this "blind". "We want to be able to help other families," he said. 8 8 8 8
