Ryanair passengers refuse to leave plane - David Guyatt - 17-11-2010 This is an example of how to force corporations to do the right thing. If you don't fight for what is right, you'll always get what's wrong. It's a simple as that.

More than 100 passengers, most of them French tourists back from a holiday in Morocco, decided to protest against staff's decision to land in Liege, Belgium, instead of Beauvais, near Paris in France on Tuesday night. They stayed on board for four hours in complete darkness after the plane landed, despite the pilot and crew members having already left the aircraft. There was no food or water available on the plane, and passengers didn't have access to the on-board toilets, which were locked. Their flight, which was meant to leave Fes in Morocco at 7.15pm local time on Tuesday, was delayed by three hours, meaning that the plane was no longer able to land in Beauvais as planned, since the French airport was then closed. It finally landed in Liege around 11.30pm local time – much to the passengers’ discontent. They decided to stay on the plane until someone agreed to take them to their original destination, and it took four hours of negotiations for officials to convince them to leave the aircraft. Passengers were then asked to wait for buses to take them to Beauvais. A firefighter told AFP: "The negotiation was so difficult that we weren't sure they would come out. People are obviously outraged." Ryanair passengers refuse to leave plane - Jan Klimkowski - 17-11-2010 A proper mutiny! I'm amazed the passengers weren't arrested on trumped-up "terror" charges.
