Airplane travel offers unparalleled convenience, but the journey can become an ordeal when fellow passengers act disruptively or when the plane is forced to make an emergency landing due to bizarre circumstances.

While we've long accepted that driving a car requires passing a series of tests, the skies seem to remain an open highway.

But recent events are making us wonder, should air travelers also be subjected to a different test?

Not the kind for pilots, who already undergo rigorous evaluations, but a test for the passengers themselves. As incidents of disruptive behavior reach new levels of peculiarity, it begs the question: should we consider screening passengers before they board an airplane?

The era of unruly passengers has ushered in a wave of bizarre incidents. Read on!

1. Adult Diaper Mistaken for Bomb, Plane Makes Emergency Landing In US

A Copa Airlines flight from Panama City was flying to Tampa, Florida when they got a tip about a suspicious object in the restroom. The plane returned to Panama, and everyone got off while a team checked for explosives. But after a thorough search, it turned out that the suspected bomb was just an adult diaper.

2. Delta flight was forced to turn around because of a diarrhea incident

A Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Barcelona had to turn around due to a passenger's illness. With 336 passengers, the plane departed on time but returned over central Virginia. The pilot cited a "biohazard issue" caused by a passenger with diarrhea. The Airbus 350 landed back in Atlanta two hours after takeoff. The flight experienced an overall delay of around eight hours but eventually reached Barcelona without further problems on Saturday. Delta apologized to its customers for the inconvenience.

3. A Turkish Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing after a drunk passenger bit an attendant's finger.

A Turkish Airlines flight en route from Istanbul to Jakarta had to make an emergency landing when an intoxicated passenger bit a flight attendant's finger. The man, identified as Muhammad John Jaiz Boudewijn, was warned by the cabin crew to calm down, but this only aggravated the situation. A viral video captured the passenger throwing punches at a flight attendant and attempting to tackle another while fellow passengers watched in shock. Boudewijn, a pilot for Indonesian carrier Batik Air, caused a disruptive incident on the flight.

4. Passengers using overhead bins for pull-ups force flights to divert and make an emergency landing

An American Airlines flight was diverted from its scheduled route when an 'unruly' passenger engaged in disruptive behavior, including doing pull-ups on the overhead compartment. The flight, AA2763, originally departed from Phoenix en route to Boston. The disruptive, intoxicated passenger, carrying 147 passengers and six crew members, prompted the plane to divert to Kansas City.

The situation escalated when the passenger became abusive toward a flight attendant. Despite being removed from the flight, no charges were filed against the individual.

5. A Sudanese Plane Had to make an Emergency Landing After A Cat Hijacks Cockpit

In a bizarre incident, a Sudanese flight was forced to make an emergency landing at Khartoum International Airport when an agitated cat attacked the pilot in the cockpit. Shortly after takeoff from Khartoum International Airport, the feline intruder entered the cockpit and assaulted the pilots. All passengers safely disembarked after the landing. However, the cat's mode of entry into the aircraft remains unclear. Speculation suggests it might have entered the previous night while the plane was parked in a hangar at Khartoum airport.

6. Transavia plane makes emergency landing after ¡®passenger¡¯s body odor caused others to vomit and faint¡¯

In May 2018, a flight to the Spanish holiday island of Gran Canaria made an unexpected detour after passengers allegedly became distressed by the stench of the "unwashed" man. He smelt so bad that other passengers started fainting and vomiting after the flight took off from Amsterdam¡¯s Schiphol Airport, Belgian broadcaster VRT reports.

Staff on board the Transavia jet reportedly tried quarantining him in a toilet before the pilot diverted the flight. The Boeing 737 is said to have landed in Faro, in the Algarve region of southern Portugal, so that the foul-smelling man could be removed from the flight.

7. In 2015, Sheep Farts Force Malaysian-Bound Flight Into Emergency Landing

A rather unusual event unfolded in 2015 when an airplane carrying 2,186 goats landed unexpectedly. The Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-400 freighter plane was en route from Adelaide, Australia, to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia when an urgent announcement led to its diversion to Bali Denpasar on October 26, 2015.

This extraordinary incident occurred due to flatulence from the goats in the cargo hold, which set off smoke alarms. Upon landing, emergency services investigated the situation but found no evidence of fire, heat, or smoke, leaving everyone somewhat bemused by the peculiar turn of events.

8. Pilot Makes Emergency Landing After Fight Breaks Out Over Passenger's Continued Flatulence

In 2018, a Transavia Airlines flight traveling from Dubai to Amsterdam Schiphol made an emergency landing due to a scuffle that erupted when two passengers requested a fellow traveler to cease their persistent flatulence, according to multiple reports. The two individuals claimed they were ignored after asking the passenger to stop. A dispute ensued when they sought assistance from the flight crew and did not receive the desired response. Despite the pilot's warnings, the situation persisted, ultimately leading to the decision to make an emergency landing at Vienna Airport, as the New York Post and the British newspaper Metro reported.

9. A hungry passenger creates a stir and climbs the food cart

A passenger's disruptive behavior compelled a plane to carry out an emergency landing. Reportedly, the individual in question climbed atop the food cart in the aisle. The passenger, seated beside his brother during the IndiGo flight from Dubai to Kozhikode, India, remained perched on the trolley until flight personnel intervened and requested he disembark.

This action further incited his agitation, leading to an altercation with his brother. An airline spokesperson disclosed that he leaped onto the cart and took shelter among the snacks and merchandise just before the aircraft's landing. The bizarre incident led the pilot to reroute the aircraft to Mumbai, where law enforcement officers escorted the individual off the plane.

10. Woman Singing Whitney Houston Songs Forces Emergency Landing of American Airlines Flight

In 2013, American Airlines Flight No. 4, en route from Los Angeles to New York's JFK Airport, unexpectedly landed in Kansas City due to a disruptive female passenger. She had persistently sung Whitney Houston songs, prompting the diversion. Local television station KCTV captured the moment when at least two uniformed officers escorted her off the plane, all while she continued belting "I Will Always Love You." As airport spokesman Joe McBride confirmed, the disruption resulted in her detention by a Federal Air Marshal.
