On a flight back from Majorca two very drunk men had a full on fist fight, one of them got knocked out and required medical attention. Thankfully the other one calmed down enough and returned to his seat. Before we knew it the pilot had decided to land at an airport in mainland Spain to get rid of them. A crew of Spanish police on boarded and attacked them both with batons before dragging them off the plane by their ankles. I can't imagine that ended well for them! — Save
