"SNIP........................

A Sunwing flight en route to Cuba was forced to turn around and return to Toronto's Pearson Airport Wednesday evening after two disruptive passengers caused a major disturbance.

The pilot of the 737 aircraft, who described the two female passengers as being disruptive "in a serious manner," reported to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) while the plane was in U.S. airspace that the aircraft was "under threat."

NORAD scrambled two Canadian Forces CF-18 fighters to intercept Sunwing Flight 656 and escort it back to Pearson.

Police officers were called to the airport around 8 p.m. ET and the two passengers were arrested when the plane landed, said George Tudos with Peel Regional Police.

4. Well it happened over North Carolina. NORAD was informed

and just put the American jets on stand by. Perhaps the Canadian fighter jets wanted to practice?

3. Do ya 'spose alcohol was involved or do they both just feel "entitled?"

5. It says the 2 women went into the lavatory, consumed a bunch of liquor

then lit up a cigarette.

How could 2 people even get into one of those dinky gross little biffs? They probably burnt each other with their cigarettes and that's what started the fight.
