Instant noodle attack and other weirdness forces Air Asia flight back to Bangkok

An Air Asia flight was forced to return to Don Mueang airport due to outrageous and violent behavior from two passengers.

In a post since removed on the Chinese web board Weibo, users who said they were on flight FD91010 said the plane was halfway to Nanjing, China, when a young Chinese couple assaulted a flight attendant and threatened to “jump out of the plane.”

It all started, according to those accounts, when a Nanjng woman in her 20s, who was seated separately from her boyfriend, threw a hot cup of water in which her instant noodles were steeping at a flight attendant, according to the original report on Weibo.

That wasn’t all. Her boyfriend subsequently said he would kill himself while the woman threatened to jump out of the aircraft.

The flight returned to Don Mueang, at which point police boarded the plane to take the two into custody. The woman complained of depression and would not stand up from the floor, where she was lying. Her boyfriend also refused to go.

They were removed forcefully from the plane. While the incident remains unconfirmed, a number of photos posted to Weibo suggest something happened involving police, noodles and a lot of drama.
