A Lufthansa Airbus A380 traveling from San Francisco to Munich diverted to Boston after a female passenger allegedly attacked another passenger and had to be handcuffed to her seat. The superjumbo was carrying 508 passengers, meaning the diversion inconvenienced a whole lot of people.
According to Massachusetts State Police, troopers were notified around 8:00 am Thursday of a disturbance onboard the flight. A female passenger allegedly attacked her seatmate and had to be restrained by flight attendants. While the initial plan was to divert to Chicago O’Hare (ORD), that airport is not situated to handle the superjumbo jet so the flight continued to Boston (BOS), where the passenger was removed from the aircraft.
Lufthansa confirmed the diversion, explaining:
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
