A long delay for some passengers on-board an overnight US Air flight to London.
US Air flight 728 was already a half-hour late when it took off Tuesday night, heading from Philadelphia to London’s Heathrow Airport, but that 30 minute delay was nothing compared to what passengers were about to face.
The plane took off around 10:20 p.m., but just over an hour into the flight, passengers were told they were turning around due to an unruly passenger, who authorities say was drunk and attempting to grope women on the plane.
The plane got back to Philadelphia shortly after midnight, but it was too heavy to land, so it had to circle to burn fuel. It finally landed a little after 1 a.m.
The passenger was taken off the plane and into custody by federal authorities.
The plane did finally take off again just before 3 a.m.
