Air rage and a great misplaced modifier

[MLS]

The Drudge Report links to this story in The Electric New Paper, about a couple that was arrested for having sex in an airplane lavatory and then getting belligerent when made to stop.

Bolding mine:

A passenger told The Sun: ‘They were asked politely to return to their seats but went ballistic. They were shouting vile abuse and spitting at staff.’

Another said: ‘The captain tried to calm them down but they were just as abusive to him.’

And despite being restrained with plastic handcuffs, the pilot decided he had no choice but to divert the 777 jet to Bermuda.

Geez. That pilot must be quite the man if he flew that 777 all the way to Bermuda while in handcuffs.

They should have let the passengers have a go at them. That’d learn’em to divert the flight!
