Peeing 'epidemic': Indian flier on American Airlines detained at Delhi
The accused, identified as 21-year-old Arya Vohra, resident of Delhi and
student at a US university, has been banned by the airline from flying on its
planes in future. This is the third such incident in the past few months.
NEW DELHI, March 5: In yet another instance of perverted behaviour on a plane,
an inebriated Indian young man urinated on a co-passenger on a New York-New
Delhi American Airlines flight and was handed over to security personnel on
arrival at Delhi on Saturday. This is the third incident of its kind in the
past few months.
The accused, identified as 21-year-old Arya Vohra, resident of Delhi and student
at a US university, has been banned by the airline from flying on its planes
in future.
He reportedly apologised to the male fellow passenger for what he described
as unknowingly happened while asleep. However, the pilot reported the matter
to the air traffic controller and subsequently he was taken into custody by
the police when the plane landed in Delhi.
In a statement, the airlines said, “American Airlines flight 292 with service
from John F Kennedy International Airport to Indira Gandhi International Airport
was met by local law enforcement upon arrival in Delhi due to a disruptive customer.
The flight landed safely at 9.50 pm. We’re grateful to our crew members who
are consistently dedicated to the safety and care of our customers and handled
the circumstances with the utmost professionalism.”
The DGCA said, “We have sought and got a report from the concerned airline.
They seem to have handled the situation professionally and have taken all appropriate
action.”
Earlier, on November 26, a passenger named Shankar Mishra allegedly urinated
on a 70-year-old woman co-passenger in an inebriated condition in the business
class of an Air India New York-New Delhi flight. The airline was penalised by
the DGCA for not promptly reporting the incident. Mishra was later arrested
by the police.
Ten days later, in another mid-air peeing incident, a drunk man on a Paris-Delhi
Air India flight urinated on a woman's blanket. The incident took place on flight
142 on December 6. The pilot reported the matter to the ATC and the accused
was apprehended on arrival.
WHAT TO DO, WHEN... : IndiaTravelTimes does not guarantee the
authenticity of the video (above) of the episode of the flight turbulence at
Durgapur airport on May 1, yet this is being put out with a view to
familiarising the ordinary fliers with such probabilities lest they are
caught unawares and fail to react rationally to handle such terrible
situations. The 'eternity' can last up to 15 minutes. Tighten your belts,
believe in your pilot and shift your thoughts to reduce disabling anxieties!
Rest assured, the aircraft can rock and fall but not more than a hundred
feet anyway.
During the event, nearly 50 other people, including bull tamers and spectators,
were also injured. Jallikattu is a bull-taming sport, which has been part of the
festival of Pongal in Tamil Nadu.
Whole localities are sent into quarantine in China using force if someone is
symptomatic of covid. The quarantines are metal boxes set up in far away
camps. The authoritarian regime is resorting to draconian methods to check a
new wave of the epidemic in the country that has already locked down three
cities currently. On the other hand, the US presents a contrasting scenario
where in the name freedom large sections of people refuse vaccination and
assault health workers who mandate the covid restrictions.

Can we ask the vaccinator, "Do you pull back the plunger and
then push the vaccine? Do you Aspirate?" When the vaccination
for covid started there were reports of worrisome incidents of
adverse events post immunisation, the serious complaints being
non-specific blood clots. These related to viral vector vaccines of
human and non-human source: AstraZeneca and Janssen. How
did it happen. There are various views. But here is a suggestion
how simply it can be prevented.
Marking a fierce but interesting competition among the
billionaires, adventure specialist Richard Branson launched
commercial space travel from his 'Spaceport America' on Sunday,

first private space tourist nine days earlier than his rival.

While the rationalists debunk the episode as a ploy to make up for
the losses in offerings during the corona lockdown, the believers
stick to their claim, they have seen it after all! The claim of
Shankaralinga temple resembles the miracle of Ganesha drinking
milk in Delhi way back in 1995. Although they belong to two
different branches of science.
