    • -A random rude guy who picked the wrong day to cuss out authority
    • -Bad news for future passengers from Nigeria

    No injuries were reported. Emergency services responded to the scene. Passengers were provided overnight accommodations.

    In my experience, this does not happen often to Virgin.
