Man threatens to bring down plane

Here we go again! Another Qantas Jet in trouble!

This time a man threatened to bring a plane down with his MIND POWER!

Singapore Police are questioning a man who threatened to bring down a Qantas flight from Sydney to Singapore.

The man was restrained by flight stewards after he made threats to disrupt QF31 using mind power.

According to ABC reporter Nick Luchinelli, who was onboard the flight, it seemed the middle-aged man was either under the influence of drugs or alcohol - or possibly both.

He was suffering some sort of delusion and people who were sitting close to him in the next row said he was threatening to use the power of his mind to bring the flight down.

The stewards had to take the threat seriously so he had both his arms and legs cuffed, and remained that way for the rest of the flight.

Singaporean police boarded the flight after passengers disembarked.

I'd also like to say that when the post on the ABC website was made the heading was "man threatened to bring down plane" then 30 minutes later they changed plane to qantas. it shows the media will do anything to get views if it involves qantas.

It is only a story because an ABC reporter was on the flight and the carrier - how many passengers are drunk/disorderly/affected by medications on flights around the world? It happens on a daily basis.
