There are definitely many pros and cons to flying places when traveling. It's a lot faster, you can go a lot farther in a much shorter amount of time, and you can get to destinations that aren't possible in a car. Of course, air travel has become a huge hassle. Plus, an airplane isn't the most comfortable way to travel.

I understand that flying can be really frustrating. Of course, there are the rules and regulations. Getting through security at an airport is not fun. The travel time is much shorter, but everything else takes forever. Plus, sitting in that uncomfortable airplane can get on people's nerves.

Since flying causes a lot of frustration and anger, there have been lots of issues on airplanes lately. The most recent happened on a flight from O'Hare to Germany. A passenger started acting very strangely and stabbed two teens with a fork. The suspect also slapped a woman in the face and tried to attack members of the staff.

The flight ended up having to land in Boston because of this disturbance. The suspect was arrested, but unfortunately, the flight didn't continue to Germany. I'm sure the passengers were very upset about that situation.

According to ABC 7 Chicago...

A man has been charged with allegedly stabbing two teenage boys with a metal fork on a flight from Chicago to Germany on Saturday, the Department of Justice said.

 

The DOJ said the flight was diverted to Boston Logan International Airport, where officials took Usiripalli, who was previously admitted to the United States on a student visa, into custody.

 

Usiripalli is charged with one count of assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm while traveling on an aircraft in the special aircraft jurisdiction of the United States, the DOJ said.
