Southwest Flight Diverted Mid-Flight Due to Rowdy Passenger Incident

A Southwest Airlines flight bound for Fort Lauderdale (FLL) had to divert overnight due to a disturbance caused by a passenger, as reported by NBC 6 South Florida. It appears some folks can't handle the friendly skies and might need a nap instead.

Captain Pablo’s verdict

Keep your seatbelt fastened—some turbulence happens on the ground, too!
