Man Angry Over Apple Juice Forces Plane to Land in Philadelphia
by KYW’s Al Novack
A man allegedly upset over a long wait for apple juice caused a flight headed to North Carolina to be diverted to Philadelphia.
Officials say the man became irate and used profanity aboard a Delta flight from LaGuardia airport in New York to Greensboro, NC on Tuesday afternoon around 5pm.
The flight was diverted to Philadelphia, where it was determined that the man had become upset over a lengthy wait for some apple juice he had ordered.
Philadelphia police said they won’t file any local charges. Later, the FBI said it wouldn’t be filing any charges either.
After a thorough investigation, officials say, the incident was determined very minor in nature and no harm was intended.
Fifty-two passengers spent much of the night at the airport until they could be placed on other flights to North Carolina.
