HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, N.L., CANADA - An American man has been handed a $12,000 fine or three months in jail for an incident of air rage on a transatlantic flight.

A Continental Airlines jet made an unscheduled landing in Happy Valley-Goose Bay on Monday night after a passenger became irate.

Police say the 47-year-old Florida man struggled with officers as he was being taken from the plane.

The flight was operating between Norway and New Jersey.

I tihnk he got off easy. I think anybody who disrupts a flight should do jail time. This is ridicoulous.

Just wait Nick, I'm sure CO will be suing him for the cost of the stop over as well.[/img]
