Erotic dancing turns Airbus A-320 flight around back to Moscow: BMI flight BD0896 Moscow Domodedovo to London Heathrow 26 August 2011

A London-bound flight was forced to return to Domodedovo Airport shortly after takeoff Friday morning after a drunk, female passenger began stealing other passengers' eyeglasses and attempted to perform an erotic dance, transportation police said, RIA-Novosti reported.

Fifteen minutes into bmi flight BD0896, which took off at 7:15 a.m., cabin crew received word that a middle-aged woman was acting strangely and disturbing other passengers.

The woman, a native of Almetyevsk in the republic of Tatarstan, was so disruptive that the crew decided to return to Domodedovo Airport, where the Airbus A-320 landed safely at 8:30 a.m.

The would-be erotic dancer was detained and sent to a hospital in Domodedovo for a medical examination. Authorities are still deciding which disciplinary actions to take against her, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.

The spokesman added that the woman acted normally prior to the flight, and he speculated that she had a low tolerance for alcohol.

The flight's departure was rescheduled for 5 p.m., a delay of almost 10 hours, according to bmi's web site.
