A mother-daughter pair caused pure chaos on a flight from Manchester to the Caribbean, forcing an emergency landing in Canada — and the whole thing was caught on video.
The drama unfolded on May 28, when two blonde women were filmed being escorted off the plane by police after hours of drinking and disruption. Mandy, a fellow passenger who filmed the now-viral video, says the flight was already delayed by more than two hours before boarding, and tensions were brewing long before takeoff.
According to Mandy, the younger woman, who goes by “Angel” online, had already been downing wine and prosecco at the airport bar. Once on board, things quickly spiraled. Mandy sat in row 13, while the unruly pair sat nine rows back. Not long after takeoff, the women allegedly started drinking from their duty-free stash and causing a disturbance.
Angel reportedly began yelling at flight attendants, demanding to get off the plane mid-air. Despite repeated warnings from staff to calm down, the shouting continued. “The captain had to come on the speaker and announce we’d be making a stop in Canada because of ‘reckless behavior,’” Mandy recalled.
Angel was eventually strapped into a seat at the back of the plane, but not before triggering a full-blown emergency. Upon landing, police officers boarded the aircraft. The mother was the first to be arrested — but not without a fight. Mandy claims she even kicked one of the cops before being handcuffed and dragged off while screaming down the aisle to her daughter.
Angel followed moments later, flashing a smile and waving “bye” to fellow passengers as she was led off the plane in cuffs.
“She’s not messing about now, is she?” Mandy is heard saying in the video, as passengers around her clapped and booed the spectacle.

“It was honestly terrifying,” one traveler commented online. “There were kids onboard and everyone was just trying to get to their destination safely.”
Passengers finally arrived in Jamaica at 7:30 p.m., more than six hours later than expected.
Social media exploded with reactions after the footage was shared, with one commenter writing, “Omg, what an embarrassment. I’d be mortified if this was my family.” Another added, “Same thing happened on my flight to Egypt — people just don’t know when to stop drinking.”
As the duo were hauled off the flight, Mandy delivered one last jab: “No flying for two years. Enjoy Canada!”
