Shocking video shows the moment a woman threw \u201c\u00a35,000 in cash\u201d in a man\u2019s face after the pair were allegedly escorted off of a plane, passengers claim.<\/p>\n
The flight had to be diverted after the couple had a fierce argument, onlookers said.<\/p>\n
Travellers said trouble flared when they were five hours into the 9.35pm flight from Heathrow to Bangkok on September 30.<\/p>\n
They claimed the couple had a blazing row and the pilot told passengers for safety he would have to turn back and land in Vienna, Austria – which would take an extra two and a half hours.<\/p>\n
Videos show police escorting the pair off of the flight – but then on the runway, she appears to throw cash in his face.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Notes fly in the air and land all over the tarmac – before the male and airport workers start picking it up.<\/p>\n
Grandfather Andy Singh, 63, was travelling to Thailand for a month-long holiday.<\/p>\n
He claimed: \u201cThe lady and the man, they were already intoxicated. They kept talking about money, he would say ‘she\u2019s got my \u00a35,000 in her bag’.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe captain said \u2018we have to go back to Vienna because [of] staff safety and the passengers\u2019 safety, ladies and gentleman we have got no choice but to get back to Vienna\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said \u2018it will take two and a half hours to get back there, and we will decide what to do after that.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On landing, the couple were escorted off the plane by the police.<\/p>\n
Footage shows the man, wearing a light-coloured tracksuit and carrying a neck pillow, scowling at Mr Singh for recording.<\/p>\n
Andy said: \u201cThe police took the lady first. He decided after a couple of minutes on the tarmac to grab the bag from the lady, but the lady just threw all \u00a35,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both were put in a police van, and footage shows an officer trying to pick up some of the strewn cash.<\/p>\n
Andy said: \u201cSome of the notes were floating away because nobody picked them up, they only picked up the nearest ones.\u201d<\/p>\n
Andy, from Gravesend, Kent, added that all of the passengers have been put up in a hotel and are due to set off again at 5.30pm on Sunday, Vienna time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
EVA Air said: ”EVA Air\u2019s BR68 flight from London via Bangkok to Taipei took off from Heathrow Airport on September 30.<\/p>\n
”After five hours of flight time, a female passenger moved her seat from Economy Class to Premium Economy Class and refused to pay for the upgrade cost.<\/p>\n
”Another male passenger travelling with her also engaged in disorderly behaviour and smoked an e-cigarette adjacent to the cabin galley.<\/p>\n
”Our flight attendants took quick action to stop these passengers but encountered inappropriate insults and physical abuse.<\/p>\n
”After seeking assistance from eight other passengers, these two unruly passengers were successfully restrained.”<\/p>\n
