Passengers Freak Out as Chaos Erupts
Flight FR7126 was cruising towards the Canary Islands when crew intervened due to unruly passengers. One traveller revealed the horrifying scene:
“I am on flight FR7126. We have landed in Lisbon after a violent incident on board. The disruptive passengers were evacuated and paramedics were brought on board to treat the injured. We are waiting to depart for LPA.”
“We were scared here. They were very violent.”
“Yes, a lot of alcohol and a lot of drugs too.”
Emergency Services Step In, Flight Resumes After Delay
