If EgyptAir's ludicrous plane hijack wasn't enough aviation drama for one week, United Airlines have been privy to even better onboard entertainment – a good film and a quiet nap is a thing of the past. The United Airlines pilot was forced to turn the plane around mid-flight because a violent passenger refused to stop practising yoga at the back of the plane and sit in his seat during meal service.

The United Airlines flight from Honolulu International Airport to Narita International Airport was aborted after Hyongtae Pae began to push his wife and shout at crew members. "Pae pushed his wife because she was trying to make him stop," the complaint said. "He felt that she was siding with the flight crew."

In a fit of rage, Pae proceeded to try and head-butt and bite Marines, who were also passengers onboard and who were trying to help the crew. The grand finale included Pae threatening to kill everyone onboard and yelling that there was no god.

US Attorney Darren Ching said that Pae was enraged because he felt the flight crew was ordering him around. Ching also said that Pae urinated on himself and was on suicide watch at the Honolulu Federal Detention Center, awaiting his hearing on Wednesday. Let's hope the judge manages to keep a straight face.
