Masturbating Passenger Causes Premature Landing For Virgin Flight
By Brendan James Published November 28, 2014, 2:00 PM EST

A passenger caused a Virgin Atlantic flight to make an unscheduled landing on Monday after masturbating and attempting to pry open an emergency exit.

The premature landing came about after the Bay Area man, seen wearing a hospital bracelet, got into an argument with a fellow-passenger and eventually attempted to exit the plane through an emergency door, according to KNBC.

Boston police officers were aboard the flight and reportedly apprehended the man as the plane — bound for Los Angeles from Boston — made an unscheduled landing in Nebraska.

One fellow passenger filmed the cops escorting the handcuffed man off the plane.

"About 100 brains missing from University of Texas"

Is it wrong that this is my favorite headline in a long time? Could one belong to Ted Cruz? nah...

With that understatement the media just wants to avoid a panic in Texas.

GREAT headline ~ LOL!!!

queenie, with your permission, I'd like to move this into our Headlines writing as an art form thread from last week ~ the unintended humor needs to be preserved!

Sooz, go ahead. I just wasn't thinking of this as news...

Wow. 100 missing brains and every one got elected. What are the odds, eh?
