Jet Bound For LAX Makes Emergency Landing After Passenger Tries To Smoke Pot

The plane landed safely at San Jose Mineta International Airport, about 50 miles south of San Francisco.

The airline says the passenger accused of smoking was turned over to law enforcement.

The remaining 32 passengers were placed on other aircraft to continue their trips. Passengers reported smelling smoke, and one said he smelled marijuana.

“It looked like that someone needed to smoke a joint on a plane, and he went into the bathroom, smoked his blunt, and set off the fire alarm,” passenger Jonathan Burkes said.

'Cause, you know, planes are never diverted because of alcohol...

NOTE: The passenger was not being "drunk and disorderly" - was not being hostile and aggressive. Threatened no one...

Regards,

So they had to emergency land the flight because someone burned some in the loo?

I’ve got an idea for a new movie. I’ll call it “Babies on a plane”.

The pilot needed a safe space. Talk about over reacting! Ground a plane because someone lit up?! This country is being over run by pansies.

I wonder if it’s one of our resident one-note johnnies. probably not, otherwise he/she/it would have been bitching to high heaven about drinking being legal on planes, yet even more harmful than dope, & etc., etc.

As more and more of these potheads stumble through life stoned and stupid, causing accidents, hurting people, or, as in this case, simply annoying everyone else, you have to wonder whether there will be some sort of backlash from the non-user general public.

Well, the article says that a fire alarm went off. It's not unreasonable to make sure something really isn't on fire.

The stupidest aspect of this story is that the flight from SFO to Burbank is actually under 1 hour in the air. How much of a pot fiend do you have to be that you can't even wait 50 minutes or so?

Smoking would be a problem if this happened to someone on a plane

I’m old enough to remember when commercial airlines had an ashtray built into every seat on the plane...
