Drunk passengers arrested at Gatwick for causing 'tequila terror' on flight
Seven 'drunk and unruly' passengers were arrested by armed police after causing 'tequila terror' on a flight to Gatwick from Cancun. Fellow passengers said the group of men and women had been swigging from large bottles of duty-free-bought tequila and began arguing aggressively midway through the cross-Atlantic flight from Mexico. One eyewitness said he was appalled by the 'disgusting' language used by the group, as terrified young families also awoke to the chaotic scene unfolding this morning (01/10). The group had reportedly refused to hand their passports to cabin crew and were escorted off the runway at Gatwick by armed police officers carrying guns and tasers. One woman in the group can be heard shouting hysterically in a video of the incident, saying, 'Don't touch me'. Mac Mack, who was flying home after visiting a friend in Cancun, said the trouble had begun at the airport when the group had tried to push in line at the departure gate. "Apparently they had been drinking before and at the time of the incident," the 58-year-old, from South London, explained. "They were all UK nationals.

"They were fine initially, but on TUI flights they stop serving alcohol after dinner. "[The group] started on their duty-free booze, according to passengers sitting near them." Passengers said they saw cabin crew asking the group to behave and telling them to hand over their passports - which they refused to do. Mr Mack said that around quarter to four in the morning - shortly after the plane had flown over the east coast of Canada - a 'loud and aggressive' argument broke out, with cabin crew desperately trying to calm the unruly group. "It was tequila terror at 60,000 feet," he continued. "There were kids on the flight and a lot of people were woken up to people screaming obscenities at each other. "Passengers were scared; if it had kicked off against the cabin crew, it would have been the group against just seven or eight skinny girls and boys. "They eventually shut up and calmed down." Another elderly male passenger, who did not want to be named, added: "I was really concerned about the disgusting language being used in front of my wife. "One of them hit the back of my seat, thrusting it upright as he joined the argument." Mr Mack added that once cops boarded the plane and took …
