WARSAW, Poland - Two passenger jets made unrelated emergency landings in Poland Monday to remove rowdy passengers, one of whom claimed to be a terrorist.
In the first incident, a Lufthansa-operated flight from Germany to the Ukraine was diverted to Pyrzowice airport, near the southern city of Katowice, after a Russian citizen on the plane claimed to be a terrorist.
Polish border guards at the airport examined his luggage but found no evidence that he was a terrorist, said Maj. Cezary Zaborski, spokesman for local border guards. Zaborski said the man appeared to be inebriated.
The plane, an Airbus 320 that took off from Frankfurt with more than 110 passengers, continued on to Kiev, Ukraine.
A few hours later, an Airbus A330 operated by German budget airline LTU landed at Warsaw's Okecie airport because a German man onboard became unruly after drinking too much alcohol. The man was removed from the plane, which had been on its way from Bangkok, Thailand, to Duesseldorf, Germany.
The man's wife decided to continue on to Germany with their child, said Wojciech Zachariasz, a spokesman for Warsaw border guards there.
Polish prosecutors will decide whether to detain the men. They could face up to three years in prison or fines for provoking emergency landings.
Perhaps a subject-verb disagreement started it all...
The offenders should be taken out & beaten with ... poles.

They apologized profusely, and put him on the next plane.
