Virgin Australia plane forced to land in Bali over fears of a hijack

A Virgin Australia plane (pictured above after it
landed in Bali) was forced to land on the island
of Bali over fears of a possible hijack. Initially
reports said the plane, which was flying from
Australia and carrying 150 passengers, was
being hijacked, but it was later found to be an
aggressive drunk passenger who was trying to
force his way into the cockpit.
The pilot sent a distress signal to airport
authorities and the plane was cleared to land in
Bali so the situation could be dealt with. BBC
reports that immediately the plane landed, the
drunk passenger, who had been overpowered by
the crew and handcuffed him, was arrested at
the airport.
Virgin Australia told ABC News that there has
been a medical emergency aboard the plane but
everything had been settled though the aircraft
still remains on the tarmac at Bali’s Denpasar
airport.
