Airline pilot panics, throws passenger off plane
For the heinous crime of carrying "anarchist" literature.
A protester associated with Occupy London was barred from boarding his flight home to Malaga for Christmas because he was carrying “anarchist” literature, according to a report in the U.K. newspaper The Independent. The demonstrator was kept off the flight because the pilot worried that he would distribute literature and “upset” other passengers.Ideas can be powerful, but I believe there is a physical limit to what they can do. And Mr. Culatto may have been lucky. This was Ryanair, an airline so cheap you can never be sure if they performed the necessary maintenance.
Police claimed that John Charles Culatto, 34, was “acting suspiciously” when he stopped to talk to other passengers. He was taken into custody as security officials contacted Ryanair, the airline with which Culatto has booked his flight.
