Will put this one under "Breaking News" as this is a very strange occurrence. A Los Angeles flight to Tokyo was diverted 4 hours into the flight and made to return to U.S. due to an "unauthorized passenger" on board.

You would think under normal circumstances, the flight would land in Tokyo and the unauthorized passenger could be taken into custody there.

Seems to me this is an extreme measure and bears watching. Who was on board that warranted that the entire flight be returned to the U.S. four hours after takeoff?

They probably made the decision because they were only 4 hours away when they discovered the issue. Maybe someone on a no-fly list that wasn’t caught at first?

Good grief, that would suck. I have a long flight there in a few months; I can’t imagine having to restart.

Hillary Clinton ?

Barack Obama ?

James Comey ?

The list goes on and on.

Seems like the feces are about to meet the coal powered wind device.

'They keep saying the person had a United ticket. We are on ANA. So basically the boarding pass scanner is just a beedoop machine that makes beedoop noises that register to nowhere,' Teigen tweeted.

I’m flying from LA to Shanghai in a couple of weeks, connecting to Bangkok. Man, having the flight turn around and miss the next flight would be frustrating.

Why...why do we all gotta go back, I do not know.’

Well genius, it’s kind of hard to send some of you back and not all of you!

Why can’t US media get these stories faster. The UK seems to beat the US on many items.

It would have to be a pretty important person for a flight to turn around like that.

A woman on board claims they were (or are?) taken to a secured part of the airport, and the people sitting closest to the mystery person were all interviewed by the cops.

Seems like a lot of work for a stowaway.
