'Air Rage' Forces Delta Flight to Land as Cases Soar

Two passengers on a plane flying from Minneapolis to Los Angeles Thursday created such a powerful ruckus that they forced the pilot to turn around — serving as a reminder of the soaring cases of "air rage."

add stress of the flight or even the stress of having to take a flight for God knows what reason (job, funeral, etc.) makes me amazed that there isn't more incidents on planes.
