A Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Ibiza had just pushed back Tuesday late afternoon when a passenger’s cell phone which was being charged by an external battery, caught fire. Everyone was evacuated down emergency slides and onto the tarmac.
The only injuries were incurred on the slide with passengers falling over each other to get out and incurring burns from friction across the slide. Here’s video.
Last night Ryanair flight 7312 from Dublin to Zadar, Croatia diverted to Frankfurt Hahn airport in Germany after it lost cabin pressure.
The Boeing 737-800 had 189 people on board and was flying at 37,000 feet 120 miles southwest of Hahn airport at the time of the incident. Passengers reported hearing a bang. The flight crew deployed passenger oxygen masks and made an emergency descent all the way down to 8000 feet.

easyJet flight U2-6267 from Bristol, UK to Prague was cancelled on Friday and all 140 passengers onboard offloaded from the aircraft when a group decided to “treat[..] the plane like a nightclub.”
A year ago an AirAsia flight attendant was videotaped performing Britney Spears Toxic.
The conceit here of course is that Britney herself plays a flight attendant in the song’s music video. Maybe that’s why flight attendants seemingly just can’t help themselves.
A drunk Ryanair passenger was yanked off a flight after threatening to stab women onboard. Ryanair flight FR4332 from Manchester to Tenerife had to return to its departure point to deal with the man. Passengers reported that he “had a bottle of whisky on the plane” and shouted at women near his seat.
Strangely Aeroflot thinks that it’s elite frequent flyers causing all the problems and not, as I’ve suggested, infrequent holidaymakers on low cost carriers drinking too much.
