Mid-air incident: Flight attendant suddenly dances naked in business class
While his colleagues are handing out food on a British Airways flight to London, a flight attendant suddenly disappears. He appears completely naked in business class.
A British Airways steward caused a stir when he suddenly danced naked in business class during a flight from San Francisco to London . The incident occurred at an altitude of 30,000 feet (approximately 9,000 meters).
The man was originally responsible for serving an in-flight meal, but suddenly disappeared while his colleagues were busy distributing food and drinks. The Sun reports on the case.
After an intensive search, the crew found the steward in the Club World area. He was completely naked and was eventually dressed in pajamas, which are normally reserved for first-class passengers. His unusual behavior is attributed to drug use.
During the ten-hour, 30-minute flight, the steward was restrained in the first-class section. British Airways alerted the police, who arrested the man at London Heathrow Airport.
A zero-tolerance limit applies to flight crew, with alcohol prohibited ten hours before departure. The steward was fined €1,000. He also missed his flight because the flight took off without him.
