The best part is where police enters the plane to suppress a riot.
Should instead enter someplace else and arrest somebody for abduction!

Technical Fault with VS63 – 24 August 2006
While the plane was being boarded, it became apparent that there was a technical fault with the aircraft. Engineers believed the fault could be rectified without the need to ask passengers to leave the plane. Unfortunately, it became a rolling delay and the crew went beyond their legal operating hours.
The flight was then delayed until 11am today (Friday 25 August). Passengers were offered hotel accommodation for the evening, with free meals and telephone calls.
Media reports that there was a near-riot onboard are completely untrue.
We’d like to thank all staff who have worked through the night to resolve the situation so that our passengers can get away this morning.

Well done to the Virgin Airways engineers, who did thier best to “Get it away”. It is a shame something else came along and bit you. It is also a shame that the passengers who complained didn’t see the conditions you were working in! (off a pair of wobbly steps, in semi darkness, leaning aganst a hot engine for seven hours etc) But as per normal the dedication that airline staff of all types show when the chips are down, is never appreciated.
