The Orthodox Jewish man deserved to be left behind. Was he the only religious passenger on board?

Imagine if out of 300 passengers, 200 decided they wanted to pray at the back of the fuselage. What then? All that ballast shifted rearwards for take off?

He could have prayed in his seat, instead, he chose to create a scene.

Luckily, he got another flight, _{albeit a later one.}.

mr motade or no mr motade, the moral of this story is that we should learn to mind our own business, his "SOLoMANKINDE(NESS) CAUSED all these nonsence, on the otherhand, its sad that a passanger of an aircraft was treated like an animal(mr motade not the dumb ass that was screaming), I am surprised the dude is only seeking apology, thats crap,

This is a perfect opportunity to make money out of those bastards, why on earth will a pilot have the ordasity to remove passangers from a plane, ? thats ridiculous, but anyways , what do u except, NO BE NAIJA THE PLANE DEY GO, lord have mercy

British Airways and Virgin, who were contacted by The Independent, said their aircraft had been used for the purposes of escorted deportations as they were under a legal obligation to return failed asylum-seekers. A Virgin spokesperson said: "That is a matter for the Home Office, who makes immigration policy. We are simply not qualified to make those decisions."

British Airways refused to say how many removals it carried out each year, but said it adopted a policy of permitting one escorted or two unescorted removals per flight : "It is UK law and we comply with it – it's like asking whether we are happy paying income tax."

@ Elosela
Didn't want to hurt your feelings by stating that I agreed your opponent's stance, so instead decided to do it considerately and gently by adding kerosene to the fire.

Midolo:

Elosela, where did you hear that they are now taking fingerprints of all visitors to the UK? We just landed yesterday at 7.30am and nobody took our fingerprints.

Sounds very NIGERIAN-ish to me.

and how ironic that excuses are mde in the name of "craft disturbances" by the police when they are the ones disturbing paying passengers with the screams of criminals

No it is called post 9/11 paranoia.

Please speak for yourself. I most likely pay more taxes than you and NO I am not ok that they find it ok to have PAYING CUSTOMERS deal with crying and non-disruptive deportees.

Rofl @ "he was interfering with place job", never knew making a comment was a "disruption" to carrying a criminal away. I've seen "criminals" being taken away before, sometimes you see people yelling stuff like "He didnt do it!" "Leave him alone" "You're hurting him!", y[b]et I dare the NY police force to try to arrest such people for making their views heard [/b] even if they are wrong they still have the right to speak and even Omotade's situation is better because the deportee WAS DISTURBING THE PEACE of the aircraft and he decided to speak up for the rest of the passengers

he said the wailing went on for over 20 mins. Can you possibly imagine how annoying that must have been? I'm sure if the dude just made the noise once, nothing would have happen but he freaking went on and on, who wouldnt complain?

Gosh some of you are so gross. "Well we don't get treated well in Nigeria so let's just accept any kind of treatment in foreign countries." Disgusting. If it were up to a few of you, the dude that videotaped the Rodney King beating would d have been the one to go to jail for "interfering with police business" of beating someone half to death. Rubbish.

Point is they should get aircrafts specifically for these people and make us hear word. We pay our tickets thus we have the right to peace and quiet.

After the interdiction, Cox approached the officers again, asking for identification. The ACLU worker said both officers refused to give their identification numbers, counter to municipal policy. The female officer even covered her badge.

Another officer pulled up, and eventually one of the officers told Cox that he was being arrested for “interfering with a police investigation.”

According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) deported more than 23,000 illegal immigrants last year via commercial airline aircraft; other reports place this number even higher.

Deportation exercise fails after misbehaving Nigerian prisoners taken off flight from Venezuela

BY CORDIELLE STREET

After being refused port of entry visas for approximately 15 illegal Africans, Government is left with no choice but to charter a flight directly to Nigeria for their deportation.

This comes in the wake of a failed deportation exercise in early June, when six Nigerian prisoners were taken off a commercial flight from Venezuela, bound for Nigeria via Spain, because of misconduct.

Chief Immigration Officer Herman Brown, in a phone interview yesterday, said T&T exhausted all its appeals to countries like France, England and Spain to accommodate the deportation.

He said after much lobbying, Spain agreed to be a transit country, but will no longer extend the offer after the “misbehaviour” of the six Nigerian deportees.

“They became a threat and a risk,” said Brown.

After leaving T&T, the Nigerian deportees, escorted by immigration and police officials, boarded a commercial flight, he said.

While on the plane, they began “misbehaving,” using abusive language and was promptly taken off of the flight by Venezuelan officials.

An Immigration source said when the Nigerian High Commission was contacted to inform them that the deportees came back, an official replied: “Let them rot in jail.”
