And finally… hot air rage

A passenger flight was forced to make an emergency stop after a fight broke out over a man who refused to stop breaking wind.

According to reports, the Transavia flight from Dubai to Amsterdam was forced to land in Vienna because an elderly man on board had persisted in polluting the atmosphere despite pleas to stop from nauseated fellow passengers.

Two men sitting next to the man allegedly responsible for the olfactory assault are said to have started a fight with him.

Once the plane landed, the two men — as well as two women sitting next to them — were removed by armed police.

They have not been criminally charged but have been banned from future Transavia flights, The Straits Times reports.
