Angry passengers

Hysteria (истерия) erupted (возникнуть) when a drunk Canadian, heading (направляющийся) home after visiting Cuba, threatened (угрожать) to shoot (застрелить) flight attendants with a handgun (ружье, пистолет) after they stopped serving him drinks. Police said the man started causing trouble (причинять неудобства) about midway between Varadero, Cuba and Windsor. A flight attendant told the inebriated passenger (пассажир в алкогольном опьянении) he wasn’t allowed to have any more booze (выпивка). He was cut off from further alcohol consumption (потребление) as a result of his behaviour. The police sergeant said the man became “unruly” (непослушный, буйный). He then made a threat (угроза) to one of the stewardesses with respect to shooting them with a 9 mm handgun. The pilot, co-pilot and in-flight services manager were informed of the situation. The pilot radioed ahead for police aid. When the plane landed at 6:50 p.m., officers were waiting for him.
