US passenger bites flight attendant, forcing Tokyo flight to turn around mid-flight. During the Tuesday night flight from Tokyo to Seattle, the incident occurred on an All Nippon Airways (ANA) plane which made an unexpected diversion back to Tokyo's Haneda Airport. According to reports, the American passenger was allegedly heavily intoxicated and bit the arm of a flight attendant.
Flight data from FlightAware indicates that ANA Flight 118 was not far from the Japanese coast when the decision to return to Tokyo was made. A spokesperson for the airline informed AFP that the 55-year-old male passenger, identified as American, had bitten a crew member's arm, resulting in mild injuries. The crew had to restrain the individual, who was subsequently arrested upon the aircraft's return to Tokyo.
Although he denied biting the flight attendant, the man claimed that he had no recall of what had occurred and blamed it on the fact that he had taken a sleeping pill previously. A thorough investigation into the occurrence and the circumstances surrounding the passenger's behavior on the flight is currently being conducted by the authorities.
The recent incident is the second incident that has occurred within the past week on a flight operated by All Nippon Airways (ANA), adding to a string of accidents that have occurred on passenger planes in Japan. After a breach in the cockpit window of the Boeing 737-800 aircraft was discovered in midair, ANA Flight 1182, which had been scheduled to depart from New Chitose Airport in northern Japan, was forced to return to the airport and land before continuing on its journey.
Yesterday, at the same airport, jets belonging to Korean Air Lines and Cathay Pacific Airways collided on the tarmac, which resulted in additional issues. A towing vehicle was responsible for the mishap, which took place in snowy weather. The towing vehicle was pushing the Korean Air plane backward, and the snow caused it to lose traction.
Another incident that took place on January 2nd involved a collision between a plane belonging to Japan Airlines and a plane belonging to the Coast Guard at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, which resulted in a horrific crash. It took more than six hours to put out the fire that broke out on JAL flight 516, which resulted in the evacuation of all 379 passengers.
Finally
Unfortunately, five of the six crew members on the smaller aircraft lost their lives, while the surviving pilot sustained severe injuries. The Coast Guard plane was en route to deliver aid to earthquake-affected areas on Japan's west coast when the tragic collision occurred.
